MTC Academy- the country’s 1st and largest
medical transcription school, celebrated its 3rd
year anniversary last August 18, 2006.
The event was celebrated
by a thanksgiving mass headed by Rev. Fr. Boogie
Cabrera, MSC, and was followed by the much anticipated
event of the day: the 2nd Annual MTC Quiz Bee.
Students from different MTC branches joined the
said event- MTC Buendia (last years 1st runner-up),
Cavite City, Diliman (defending champion), Alabang,
Parañaque, Batangas (last years 2nd runner-up),
Dasmariñas, Cavite, Ubelt, Taft Ave., Sta.
Mesa, Pasig, East Ave, and San Fernando, Pampanga.
Each school gave all out support for their contestants.
As the event shifted to the more difficult level,
only 7 out of the 13 participating schools remained
to battle for the final 3 slots. At the end of
the final round, it was MTC Dasmariñas,
Sta. Mesa, and Buendia who fought gallantly for
the championship. The final round primarily involved
hands-on transcription; each group finalist assigned
their representatives for Transcriptionist, Editor,
and Proofreader. A live feed constantly monitored
to the audience the correct results of the round.
In the end, after a through deliberation of both
the judges and participants, MTC Academy Buendia
landed as the quiz bee champion. MTC Dasmariñas
was awarded as the 1st runner up while, MTC Sta.
Mesa, the youngest of the operating branches,
won the 2nd runner up among all the participating
schools.
MTC Academy, the country’s
premiere medical transcription school, has truly
grown into the academic establishment it had once
only dreamed of. With the 1st MTC Academy located
along Aurora Blvd in QC, it was initially manned
by less than 15 employees and was managed by its
founder Mr. Eugenio Gonzalez. Now, three years
later, MTC Academy has grown exponentially with
over 30 locations, producing over a thousand quality
medical transcriptionist nationwide.
Congratulations to all the
winners and see you all next year for the 3rd
Annual MTC Quiz Bee.

Last
November 19, 2005 the growing industry of medical transcription
with its huge
employment opportunity that it brings to our country
was featured in Magandang
Gabi Bayan. MGB tackled on how Filipinos will benefit
from the big employment
demand in the Medical Transcription Industry: according
to the US Department
of Labor, employment of medical transcriptionists (MTs)
is projected to
grow faster than the average for all occupations through
2012.
Currently,
there are vast employment opportunities for MTs in the
country; local
Medical Transcription Service Organizations (MTSOs)
prefer to hire experienced
transcriptionists or those who have completed training
in medical transcription.

this new partnership shows
strong support for MTC graduates and the Philippine

our own clients. Overall, Innovaquest is dedicated
to giving MTC graduates the guidance
they need in locating the right employment in any
of the production centers
located throughout the country as well as aligning
them with the needs and
expectations of our clients. "
Innovaquest
has an existing base of 12 locations and is growing

to hire as many MTs as MTC
can effectively recruit, educate and provide after
they have gone through our own
profiling and interview process. Based upon present
requirements and projections,
by the end of next year we anticipate having in excess
of 4,500 MTs working
in 45 locations after graduating from any one of the
targeted 60 MTC school
locations throughout the Philippines by 2007. Due
to an increased demand from
other countries, we are now exploring providing our
model of education and production
with a set curriculum into other areas where the desire
to create a quality
based BPO operation exists."
