WHAT DOES A MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST DO?

Every time a patient is admitted to a hospital, or is seen in an emergency room, or has a lab test or an x-ray- anytime there is a patient interaction with a medical professional, doctors dictate information for a medical record. 

The medical transcriptionist “transcribes” medical information (converts reports from dictated to written form) to be produced as hard copy or sent to storage in a computer system. 

Put simply, medical transcription is the creation of a report that says exactly what the dictator wants it to say. 

As long as people get sick, there will be a job for a medical transcriptionist. MTs must know medical terminology, must have a command of English grammar and be efficient with technology, especially the keyboard. 

The job of a medical transcriptionist is to use judgment and to figure out what to include or not to include in the report.

AMERIPHIL will teach you how to learn to acquire this special skill. Our emphasis is on preparing you to become one of the highest quality transcriptionists in the industry, capable of getting hired and earning a rewarding salary and benefits in your future employment.
