The Medical Transcription Certificate Program has been designed to provide students with a beginning knowledge of the transcription of medical records. Students gain a working knowledge of medical terminology and the ability to transcribe medical reports, learning the skills they need to perform as a medical transcriptionist. Included are inpatient and outpatient reports and case studies. Each of these reports has been taken from hospital medical records. The reports utilized include history and physical examinations, radiology reports, operative procedures, pathology reports, consultations, discharge summaries, a death summary, an autopsy report, and correspondence.

Reports are digitally recorded to be transcribed by the student. Different regional accents and background noises, which duplicate real-life situations, are used in the recorded dictation, the speed of which picks up as the student goes forward through the course. A complete medical terminology component is offered with the Medical Transcription Certificate Program, and students are also introduced to basic human anatomy.
