Patricia Ireland, CMT, FAAMT, started in medical transcription in 1968 and has been a part-time instructor of medical terminology and medical transcription since the mid-1970s. In 1989, she was asked by Southwestern Publishing Company (now Delmar Publishers) to co-author the 3rd edition of one of their best-selling textbooks, what is now Hillcrest Medical Center: Beginning Medical Transcription Course, 6th edition, the textbook currently used in the GES Medical Transcription Certificate Program.
A working medical transcriptionist, Ms. Ireland has been certified by the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT) since 1981. She's been President of her local chapter of AAMT, the Alamo Chapter. She has also represented the Texas Association for Medical Transcription as a delegate to the AAMT House of Delegates, and earned her Fellowship in AAMT in March 2003.
Sara Proctor has been a medical transcriptionist both in-house and at home, a transcription supervisor for 7.5 years, and an instructor at a local business college. She became a Certified Medical Transcriptionist in 1996, and she has been a member of AHDI (formerly AAMT) since 1995. She served on the board of both local and state Missouri chapters, including serving as President. She is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the state newsletter, The Dogwood Dispatch.
In school, Sara majored in biology with a minor in chemistry. While in college she answered an ad in a newspaper for a weekend radiology transcriptionist at a local hospital for extra money. She could type fast enough and knew some medical terms, so she landed her first transcription job! After graduation she began working in a lab, but decided to work full-time as a transcriptionist.
Carrie Stein has been a medical transcriptionist since 1977 and was certified through the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (formerly AAMT) in 1981.
Carrie originally went to college to become an RHIA (it was called RRA back then) but the only job opening when she graduated was in medical transcription. She continued to transcribe because she loved it! Her first job was at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. It was a great learning experience because it is a worldwide referral center. She has been employed at Southwest Texas Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, for the past 22 years and has been a facilitator for Gatlin Education Services for the past six years.
Carrie has been active at the local and state levels of AHDI. She served as a Texas delegate to the AHDI House of Delegates in 2000-2001 and is the former President of the Alamo Chapter of AHDI in San Antonio, Texas.
