The RMT exam is given by the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) to evaluate the transcription skills of new medical transcriptionists. Passing the RMT exam is a great way for new medical transcriptionists to demonstrate to potential employers that they have acquired first-rate skills from their transcription program. At Allied Medical School, we’re so confident in the quality of our medical transcription program that we promise you’ll pass the RMT exam – or your money back!
