These reports are the foundation of patient care and not only comprise a patient's complete record, but also track a patient's medical history and determine any future treatment. This course identifies the specific knowledge, skills, and education required for medical transcriptionists and outlines the responsibilities associated with the occupation. Students who complete this course will be well prepared for careers in the medical transcription field, whether they choose to work in private physicians' offices, clinics or hospital settings, or as self-employed medical transcription entrepreneurs. Details
