Medical Transcription
Programs in medical transcription teach you about anatomy, medical terminology, legal issues related to health care documentation, and English grammar. This prepares you to key medical information into computer programs while listening to medical dictation on a headset. Editing transcripts created by voice recognition software is an increasingly important skill.

You can become a medical transcriptionist through a one-year certificate or two-year associate program. When you complete your training, earning a certification by taking a standardized examination lets employers know that your skills are strong and up-to-date.
Job opportunities are good for medical transcriptionists, most of who work in hospitals and doctors’ offices. However, because the work requires little personal interaction, there are opportunities to work from home or as an independent contractor.
