Goals

Andrea Anaya, Career Step founder and board member, had a clear idea what she wanted to accomplish: "My goal when I started was this: a medical transcription course that is comprehensive, easy to use, and contains enough practical experience so that anyone who goes through it conscientiously WILL be able to do transcription when they are finished. And, just as important, a course that is affordable."

In addition to the 1000s of Career Step graduates who are employed as medical transcriptionists, Career Step graduates are medical transcription service owners, recruiters, industry authors, editors, educators, and certified medical coding & billing professionals. Career Step graduates are enjoying successful careers in the medical transcription and medical coding & billing industries.
