LEHI, Utah — February 9, 2021 — Carrus, one of the nation’s most trusted online healthcare training and professional development providers, today announced a partnership with 3M to leverage its award-winning and industry-standard transcription tool with Carrus’ medical transcriptionist courses.

“This is a first of its kind offering.

In advance of launching this tool with the Medical Transcription and Editing courses, 3M and Carrus tested the tool with transcriptionists in the field. Through a rigorous vetting process, recordings, SRT files, and official transcription files for the program that reflect real-life scenarios and allow learners to sharpen their skills to be better prepared and more qualified to enter the healthcare job market.

The assessment delivered by the tool is based on Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) standards and identifies critical errors, non-critical errors, and minor errors.
