I used this book to study for the CMT exam that I have taken and passed. The book served as a refresher of my past course study and current practical use of medical terminology/transcription. This book was written by the American Association for Medical Transcription (now Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity), and provides the information and tools needed to master the CMT exam. I found the review questions at the end of each chapter and the accompanying CD to be helpful. The sample reports and proofreading practice were also helpful. The CD, however, is not Windows Vista compatible.
