DIPLOMA IN MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Medical transcription programs are typically 1-year University approved certificate programs. The Programme normally includes coursework in anatomy, medical terminology, risk management, legal issues relating to healthcare documentation, and English grammar and punctuation. Many of these programs include supervised on-the-job experience. Some transcriptionists, especially those already familiar with medical terminology from previous experience as a nursing assistant or medical secretary, become proficient through refresher courses and training.
