About the Instructor

Andrea Anaya, Founder and Board Member of Career Step, began her career as a medical transcriptionist in 1986. Believing the medical transcription industry lacked a quality training program at an affordable price; Andrea developed the Career Step medical transcription program in 1992. In June 1999, the online version of the medical transcription training program was launched, revolutionizing education in the industry. Under Andrea’s vision and direction, Career Step has developed thriving relationships with industry employers and partnerships with academic institutions. Additionally, a quality medical coding program was introduced in 2004.
