The Medical Transcription Program prepares students to become medical transcriptionists who process a variety of detailed clinical reports including patient histories, physical examinations, physician consultation reports, operative reports, diagnostic reports, and discharge summaries. Medical transcriptionists may work in a variety of settings including hosptials, physicians' offices and outpatient clinics. Some medical transcriptionists go on to establish their own home-based transcription businesses.

Excellent keyboarding and computer skills, an extensive understanding of medical terminology, and a commitment to quality performance and accuracy are necessary for success in this field.

A student may apply the Medical Transcription Certificate coursework and on-the-job experience, according to the specific criteria established by AHDI (Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity), to become a Registered Medical Transcriptionist (RMT).

Students may complete the Medical Transcription Program coursework either online or on campus in the traditional classroom setting.
