Graduates are prepared to assume a wide range of roles and duties including performing receptionist duties, transcribing dictation, scheduling appointments, maintaining patient charts, preparing correspondence, ordering and maintaining supplies and equipment, and recruiting, hiring, training and managing support staff. Some additional transcriptionist courses are offered evenings for students who wish to develop their skills further in this area.
