Medical transcriptionists interpret dictation by physicians and other healthcare professionals and transcribe them into medical reports, correspondence and other records. These two medical transcription courses are designed to provide students with a working knowledge of medical terminology, appropriate formats for transcribing reports, and specialized rules of grammar and punctuation. Students will transcribe actual medical reports based on individual case studies.
