Medical Transcriptionist Certificate

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This program will provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge using simulated case studies to meet the needs of the medical community for skilled medical transcriptionists.

Graduates of this program will have obtained the knowledge and skills required to compete for entry level positions in hospitals, medical clinics, physician’s offices and online transcription companies.
Students must complete the following seven core courses, plus two courses from the selection below.

To enhance student success, we recommend the prerequisites even for those in the health care field. What we have found is that students currently working in health care use the skills, knowledge and terminology that is inherent to their specific field, are not prepared for other specialties and struggle through the course. For example, the person working in cardiology for the last several years may have lost much of the knowledge related to obstetrics, orthopedics, nephrology, etc.

In order to complete the certificate, students must successfully complete 7 core compulsory courses, plus 2 elective courses.

  • For your convenience some courses can be started at different times throughout the semester, just choose the course date that fits your schedule.
