Medical Transcription Online Course
HLTH 2111 02A (74618)
Prerequisites None
Text N/A
Description A medical transcriptionist is truly a medical language specialist. Medical transcription requires a practical knowledge of medical language, anatomy, physiology, disease processes, pharmacology, laboratory medicine, and the application of the correct format of medical reports. Reports transcribed include histories and physicals, progress notes, emergency room notes, consultations, operative reports, discharge summaries, clinic notes, referral letters, radiology reports, pathology reports, and an array of documentation spanning a multitude of medical specialties and subspecialties. Medical transcriptionists listen to and transcribe dictated recordings made by physicians and other medical professionals. These voice recordings come from digital voice technology allowing the medical transcriptionist to work from home or in an office setting. This course requires specific software, textbooks and footpedal that are not included in the tuition. This online course is designed with not only the present, but also the future in mind. This curriculum provides you with a quality education by:

  • Training you to create and maintain a successful working environment (e.g., office space, time management, deadlines, resource library, etc.)
  • Training you on current industry standard technology (e.g., Internet-based, digital voice, current medical treatments and procedures, resources etc.)
  • Training you on actual physician dictation that is kept up-to-date with current medications and procedures.
  • Training you to proofread and edit medical information translated from voice recognition software
  • Allowing you the flexibility of 24/7 access
  • Establishing the parameters for success requiring a commitment of time and participation, and meeting deadlines.
  • Allowing you the opportunity to learn with a group of motivated classmates.
