My renewal’s due March 31 and I’m short about 8 CECs — what courses or webinars improved your day-to-day accuracy instead of just ticking the box? This reminds me of when I tried to learn photography in a single weekend and retained nothing, but a 1-hour weekly class made it click; any MT equivalents, like pharmacology refreshers or dictation-style deep dives, that felt genuinely worth it?
But piggybacking on @hazel.mit2008, HPI’s 1‑hour specialty webinars with real audio + a quick posttest tightened my cardiology meds and op‑note phrasing, and they count for AHDI CECs — like interval training for your ears; https://www.hpisum.com… Try one per week and build a “gotcha” term sheet as you go — want the cardio one I used?
What stuck for me was HPI’s SUM Program dictation labs with brief posttests — short, specialty‑focused, and they felt like doing reps instead of cramming. If you’d rather read, AHDI’s Plexus article quizzes make a solid weekly drip for BOS and med terminology. @OP If cardiology/op notes are the pain point, do 2–3 targeted dictations a week and log every med-list add you missed; start here: https://www.hpisum.com.
@OP The biggest boost came from our local chapter’s Lunch & Learn sessions with live dictation critique — usually 1 CEC each, and I left with a couple of neuro/GI “gotchas” to watch for. If your chapter’s quiet, try a weekly 15‑minute QA‑log sprint on one error type (units/decimals, device names, etc.) so the credits feel like reps, not a weekend cram.
