Career in Medical Transcription

A Career in Medical Transcription
The healthcare field is growing and the need for qualified medical transcriptionists is growing with it. As a medical transcriptionist, you are an expert in medical language. Your job consists of translating oral reports from doctors into written medical records of patient care. A career available in medical transcription may include working in a doctor's office, hospital, medical school, nursing home, insurance company, or other health care setting. With experience, you can move into a supervisory position, become a medical transcription educator, or even own your own medical transcription business.

Preparation for a Career in Medical Transcription
Medical transcription training programs are available at community colleges, vocational colleges, and distance-learning programs via the Internet. Most programs are one year or less and consist of courses in medical language, anatomy and physiology, English grammar and punctuation, and electronic technology skills. Many programs also include on-the-job training. On-line programs also offer continuing education opportunities to keep you up to date with new and changing medical terminology and procedures.

Medical transcription training programs offer a certificate of course completion or technical diploma upon completion of the program. A certificate or diploma is a sign of competence in the industry and is usually required by employers. The designation of Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT) is only offered by the American Association of Medical Transcription, the national professional association for medical transcriptionists. You must have at least two years experience of acute-care transcription to be eligible to take the exam for CMT.
