The correct answer is: Registered Health Documentation Specialist (RHDS) and CHDS

The two voluntary designations awarded by the AHDI for medical transcriptionists are Registered Health Documentation Specialist (RHDS) and Certified Healthcare Documentation Specialist (CHDS). Option A, Certified Health Data Analyst (CHDA) and RHDS, is incorrect because the CHDA is not a designation specifically for medical transcriptionists. Option B, Certified Healthcare Documentation Specialist (CHDS) and CPD, is incorrect because CPD is not a recognized designation for medical transcriptionists. Option C, Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT) and RHDS, is incorrect because while CMT is a designation for medical transcriptionists, RHDS is not part of the AHDI designations for this profession. Option E, Registered Medical Transcriptionist (RMT) and CPP, is incorrect because RMT is not a designation given by the AHDI, and CPP is not a recognized designation for medical transcriptionists. Option F, Technical Writing Specialist (TWS) and CHDS, is incorrect because TWS is not a designation specific to medical transcriptionists by the AHDI.
