Feeler Probe? AAMT study group?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Same doc, says The Steffee pedicle probe, followed by inserted a " feelar "

proble. Thanks all for your help; I'm not very good at orthopedic surgeries

yet. I have A LOT to learn!

Also, is there anyone out there that knows a study group for the CMT

testing? Or a place where we can go to practice online?

Diane:

I don't personally know of a place where you can practice for the CMT exam

online. AAMT does sell practice tapes, but maybe you already new that. I would

suggest checking with the AAMT help desk to see if they know of online sites or

places in your area to practice. Perhaps your AAMT board partner for your state

can suggest something. Also, just giving AAMT the suggestion of putting

together a study group might be a good way to get that idea rolling.

What I did was call the director of the HIM department at the local hospital and

signed up as a " volunteer " and sat in their department transcribing op reports

because that is the area where I needed help. I had to officially be a

" volunteer " so that I went through the process they do of signing

confidentiality statements, training, etc. What the HIM dept let me do was

transcribe reports that were already transcribed so I could look at the work the

other MT had done if I had questions. I worked there during off-peak hours so

as not to be in the way. It worked out great. I got to know some other MTs,

introduced myself to the management in the dept., and managed to pass the CMT

exam on the first try. Maybe you can do that in your area?

>>The Steffee pedicle probe, followed by inserted a " feelar "

proble. <<

I found a " feeler " , it was listed under O'Donoghue which is a probe in the

Stedman's instrument book, but it is called an O'Donoghue cartilage feeler.

Hope this helps,

actually it was found under " feeler " with the name O'Donoghue cartilage

feeler, and then i cross referenced O'Donoghue to be sure it was a probe! :-)

Diane,

I do not know of any study groups but HPI does sell a book called " The

Medical Transcription Workbook " that goes over professional issues, grammar,

medical terminology, etc. It is supposed to help new MTs and prepare

experienced MTs to take the certification test.

I also have The Medical Transcription Workbook. I have used it along with my

transcription course to test myself. I love it!

I have that book, (MT Workbook) sent to me by mistake by HPI, and they

allowed me to keep it. I'm very pleased they did, I'm finding it very

useful and informative. It's a textbook, which kind of turned me off to

begin with, I was building my reference library, but once I cracked it open

and started skimming, I decided I was glad they sent it, and called to say I

wanted to keep it and would send payment if they would send me the item I

actually ordered (transcript keys for the SUM tapes), and they just sent me

the correct item and didn't charge.
