Overview
This program trains students in both theoretical and practical aspects of medical transcription through simulated case studies, tailored to meet industry demands. Graduates will be prepared for entry-level positions in hospitals, medical clinics, physicians' offices, and online transcription companies.
To ensure student success, we recommend prerequisites, even for healthcare professionals. Many professionals concentrate on specialized skills, which may not fully prepare them for the breadth of topics covered in the course. For example, those specializing in cardiology may have limited exposure to areas like obstetrics, orthopedics, and nephrology, which are essential components of the program's curriculum.
To successfully complete this program, participants must complete eight (8) compulsory courses and two (2) electives.
