Product Cost

The curriculum is purchased one chapter per order on a "pay-as-you-learn" plan.  This is because, as you move further along in the curriculum, the materials are substantial.  Loading more than one chapter onto your virtual desktop would make the process less efficient for you.

Each chapter includes instructions for downloading files and accessing your virtual curriculum desktop through our secure server.  

You also receive the curriculum file for the chapter (includes all chapter assignments,) a Rapid Reference list (provides the medical terms used in the transcription practice,) dictated voice files and sample reports.  

Important Note – The curriculum requires the Language of Medicine textbook by Ellen-Davi Chabner, published by W.B. Saunders (apx. $50,) a wav foot pedal or wav playing software with keyboard controls (apx. $150).   It is highly recommended that a headset (apx. $25) be used for the purpose of listening to voice files.  The quality is much higher when listening through a headset than attempting to hear the dictation through your computer speakers.

Here are links through which these products can be purchased -

Language of Medicine textbook, Ellen-Davi Chabner, W.B. Saunders

After connecting to the site, use the site's search engine to look for the book.  Be sure to buy a NEW book and not a used one.  The Language of Medicine textbook is a 'write-in' book and if buying a used one, the exercises may have already been completed and could not be used for submission to eSmartMed's free internship program.

Wav player software

The eSmartMed curriculum comes with the freeware version of Express Scribe software. The software allows rewind, fast forward, play and speed controls through the keyboard. The program is easy to use and lets the transcriptionist set up her own control keys for these functions. No foot pedal is required.

Wav foot pedal (comes with software) and headset
Recommended sites for those desiring to use a foot pedal instead of keyboard voice controls. Headsets can also be purchased from these vendors.

Package XII, Optional Internship Opportunity

A 10-week internship opportunity is available with SmartMed, LP. upon completion of Chapters 1-24.  SmartMed, LP will ask to review all test materials, including practice voice file corrections, chapter tests and a review of the completed Language of Medicine textbook before offering an internship invitation. Preliminary transcription testing is required prior to internship acceptance.  A minimum score of 85% is required on the transcription test. 

Description of Internship Opportunity

Participants will be assigned a current hospital account and provided daily patient voice files to transcribe. Upon completion of the voice files, SmartMed, LP quality assurance staff will review each voice file comparing text to dictated voice.  They will mark corrections in the file, and provide additional critique to aid the participant in fine-tuning their transcription skills and return the report to the participate who will make corrections and forward the report on to the hospital account.

The purpose of the internship program is to provide an opportunity for you to build an experience record. Internship is considered non-paid transcription status, although there is no charge to the participant for trainer’s critique and review.

The majority of those completing the eSmartMed curriculum and internship accept transcription positions with SmartMed, LP.

Important Note   Since 1982, SmartMed, LP., has provided medical transcription services for hospitals, clinics and physicians across the United States.  Their core business is medical transcription.  eSmartMed, Inc., is not a training program or a school. There are no teachers, no grades, no scores, no diplomas. eSmartMed is a medical transcription product that, if followed and completed as directed, will enable the user to develop the skill set necessary to become an acute-care medical transcriptionist. 

The eSmartMed medical transcription curriculum was created because:

  • There is more medical transcription work available than there are qualified medical transcriptionists
  • Due to SmartMed, LP's ongoing, long-term company growth, they are in constant in need of more qualified medical transcriptionists
     
  • SmartMed, LP has hired graduates from a number of formal medical transcription training programs only to find they were not prepared or qualified to transcribe hospital medical records without months of additional training on our part
