New Chapter Forming -- American Association for Medical Transcription
Be part of this new online chapter, a first for AAMT!
Here is a letter from Jay Vance, the chapter coordinator:
Today's online chapter chat meeting was a great success!
We had over 100 people show up for the chat--so many, as a matter of fact, that
we crashed the server of the primary chat room! We were able to switch to a
backup chat room, however, and the meeting proceeded apace. The response to the
presentations by Kathy Rockel and myself were extremely positive and
enthusiastic, and I believe the online chapter is going to be a rousing success
if today's response is any indication.
Thanks to everyone who participated in today's meeting. For those who couldn't
make it but are interested in the proceedings, here is a link to the transcript
of the chat:

Online Chapter's First Meeting
The next step in the process of forming an online chapter will be a formal
chapter formation meeting, which should happen in approximately two weeks. This
meeting will consist of a presentation from a national AAMT representative as
well as another presentation, both of which will offer continuing education
credit. There will be a fee for this meeting. Also at this meeting, the plan
will be to elect a board of directors for the online chapter. So far there are
five candidates for the board of directors, and you can view their profiles and
ask questions of them at:
