General Meeting Gulf Coast Chapter
Punctuation Bootcamp - January 2009.
President’s Message:
The Gulf Coast Chapter is a component organization of AHDI - Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity. The goals of the Gulf Coast Chapter are to provide a forum for learning and training opportunities to improve skills as a medical transcriptionist, networking among other medical transcriptionists for gaining knowledge and career opportunities, support credentialing through RMT/CMT study groups, and provide continuing education credits for CMTs.
Meetings are held quarterly at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital. General meetings are free and you do not have to be a member to attend. All are welcome!
I am pleased to begin the New Year as your president. I look forward to working with established medical transcriptionists as well as those new to the profession. Because this profession can sometimes be isolating, it is beneficial to get out and meet other transcriptionists to learn about new opportunities or exciting new developments in our profession. The officers of the Gulf Coast Chapter will strive to bring medical transcriptionists together to achieve these goals.
