Lisa Israel, MBA, CMT, entered the medical transcription field in 1997 at the behest of her sister, a fellow transcriptionist, and found it to be the perfect use of her skills, loved the flexibility, and was encouraged by the multitude of opportunities. She's thrilled to be using her experience and education to help guide and mentor new transcriptionists! She's worked with small and large transcription companies, small and large facilities, and has experience with all work types. Lisa has mentored and supervised transcriptionists, and she enjoys teaching online transcription and health care administration courses.

Lisa earned her BA degree in speech communication from California State University, East Bay, and her MBA in e-business from University of Phoenix. She earned her Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT) certification from the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity.

Carrie Stein, CMT, 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 is currently employed by Nuance and has been a facilitator for ed2go for the past 9 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.
