Medical Transcriptionist

Transcribing dictated medical reports and other relevant patient information to a written document is crucial to patient care. Your accuracy and attention to detail helps reduce medical errors, ensures continuity of care, and provides a reliable record for statistical reports, legal protection, and accurate billing.

You listen on a headset to dictated recordings made by physicians or other healthcare professionals and key the text into a computer or word processor to produce documents including medical histories and reports, and diagnostic imaging studies. To create accurate transcriptions that comply with required standards for medical records, you need to be able to translate medical jargon and medical abbreviations, and understand medical terminology, diagnostic procedures, medical treatments and assessments.

While traditional transcriptions are the norm in this field, speech recognition technology is growing in popularity, which translates sounds into text that you then format, edit, and check for consistency. As this technology becomes more accurate and sophisticated, it's likely to be more widely used.

Baker's small class sizes and hands-on training will enable you to develop the foundation you need in understanding medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, radiology, and laboratory data, and sharpen your listening, grammar, and typing skills.
