The Medical Machine Transcriptionist program is a two-semester Advanced Skill Set Certificate (ASSC) program that provides students with knowledge of key subject areas, skills, and hands-on training to complete medical transcription tasks in a variety of health care settings: physicians’ offices, clinic/group practice offices, nursing home/home health practice offices and acute care hospital offices. Workers who telecommute from their home office sometimes fill positions in medical transcription.
Emphasis is on fundamental knowledge and skills that distinguish medical transcription from other medical office tasks. Areas of basic skill and knowledge include sound office practice, medical terminology, and introduction to medical records, machine transcription, English language skills, keyboarding and formatting skills, word processing computer application skills.
