In 1988, I was a working mom raising two small children. I had been sacrificing much of my family/personal life just to make ends meet and it just didn't seem worth it. I did a little research and came to find the medical transcription profession. Although, not very well known and the job opportunities not as abundant as today, it seemed as if this could be the opportunity that would provide me with financial stability, as well as the flexibility to make my family life a #1 priority. Having no medical background and only adequate typing/spelling skills, I made the decision to attempt the necessary training. With great effort and a leap of faith, I was able to successfully complete the training and enter into the profession.

Twenty one years have passed since I made that decision, the best decision of my life; the decision that changed my life for myself and my family, and that gave me financial stability and most importantly the opportunity to be there for my family. Working at home in this profession allowed me the same advantages as "stay at home moms" while still providing me with the financial support I needed.

Eleven years ago, I decided to pursue the training aspect of this profession not by chance or for any financial benefit. It happened when I realized that many people would never have the same opportunity I had due to the soaring training costs over the years. As this profession became more known for its working at home benefits and lucrative earnings, I knew that many in the same position as myself 19 years ago would never have the opportunity I did because of unaffordability. Because of that and my appreciation for how this career change bettered my life, CAI was born.

I have since trained thousands of successful medical transcriptionists. I have dedicated myself to helping each and every student, so that they may reap the same benefits I did. It takes much hard work and sometimes seems like endless days, which always brings me to the question of why I choose to do this. It was not long before I started to receive phone calls and letters from graduates telling me how their lives were changed for the better, expressing their gratitude and heartfelt thanks for this training opportunity that they would have never been able to afford otherwise. I realized then that I had my answer and that I had been more than blessed to have had the opportunity to play a small part in bettering each and every one of their lives. I invite you at this time to look over the school site and if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. I will be more than happy to answer your concerns and assist you in making your career transition a pleasant, rewarding one.

Sincerely,
