MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION TRAINING IN KOLLAM

Medical Transcription is the process of transcribing any audio or video that has a medical use case and involves medical terminology .

 A good medical transcription should ideally have skills in the following areas.

• Good knowledge of medical terms
• Superior typing skills
• Communication skills
• Office automation skills
• Accuracy in sorting/counting and number verification
• Knowledge of Grammar/punctuation
• Experience with multiple medical specialties.

Transcriptionists have to accurately transcribe information like the patient’s name and the medical records have to be perfectly transcribed. It is the responsibility of the MT professional to correct any inconsistencies, edit, punctuate and give a perfect finish to these medical documents. He also has to maintain a back up and log of all the transcription work done. If in any doubt about details in the transcript he may be required to even follow up with the concerned physicians and seek clarifications.

Medical transcription professionals can gain the title of a Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT) by passing a certification examination that is conducted only by the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI). The AHDI was formerly in the name of American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT).
