ACCP-Approved Medical Transcription Programs

The Approval Committee for Certificate Programs (ACCP) has eight stipulations for a school to follow in order to obtain approval, one of which is a requirement for the medical transcription programs to follow a model curriculum set forth by the AHDI. Classes in these programs can include the study of software applications and medical terminology.
