Medical Transcriptionist Medical Transcriptionist General Information Thank you for your interest in the St. Charles County community College Medical Transcriptionist Program. Transcriptions are medical language specialists who ensure the transformation of the spoken word into a written format. This may include the typing of dictated medical reports or the validation of information captured through voice recognition.
Medical transcription is one of the most important fields in the healthcare industry.
Every healthcare agency that handles legal medical records and related documents, has a need for transcription services. The program prepares graduates for entry level positions as medical transcriptions responsible for records such as patient histories, medical conferences, surgical reports, diagnostic reports and related medical documents. Graduates will also have enough general credits to allow easy articulation into the Health Information Technology or Administrative Office Management programs, to earn dual degrees for greater job mobility.
