Medical Transcriptionist (MT) Overview


Enroll in Highline Community College’s Medical Transcriptionist certificate program and you will receive the training and knowledge you need to transcribe medical dictation for physicians. This highly specialized field requires use of computer technology and transcription equipment to listen to recordings by physicians and other healthcare professionals dictating a variety of medical reports. These include emergency room visits, diagnostic imaging studies, operations, chart reviews and final summaries.

In this challenging program you will translate medical terminology and abbreviations into their expanded forms. Transcribed reports are edited and returned to the dictator for review, signature or correction in either printed or electronic form.
