Training in Medical Transcription

Medical transcriptionists transform the oral dictation of healthcare providers into written text for print or electronic storage. If you're great with words, self-disciplined, and a bit of a perfectionist, you'll be a great medical transcriber.

What You'll Learn in Online Medical Transcription Courses
Your transcription courses will focus on medical language, including the Greek and Latin roots of medical terms. You'll develop a working knowledge of medical practices, too. This can include:
  • Anatomy and physiology
  • Diseases
  • Pharmacology
  • Lab work
You'll need to understand medical documents like patient histories, examination records, consultations, and discharge papers. In order to produce official medical records, you'll have to understand medical law as well. Develop your computer skills, too. Your medical transcription courses should prepare you to take the Certified Medical Transcriptionist exam.

Your Medical Transcription Career
Once you've got your CMT, you'll join the fast-growing healthcare field. Medical transcription specialists have great job security. You'll have the opportunity to work with other transcriptionists, continually honing your medical language skills on the job. Flexible work schedules and potential geographic mobility might induce you to enter the exciting field of medical transcription. You'll have to keep up with constantly changing medical technology, but the challenge is part of the fun of this well-paying, smart career path.

"Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning:
I wanted to know what I was going to say."
