Accredited Online Medical Transcription Schools

Medical transcriptionists type medical reports from recordings made by doctors. These reports then go into the permanent file of the patient, to be used for reference. Many of medical transcriptionists work from home, while others work in hospital or clinic settings. If you are interested in a career in medical transcription, you will first need to enter a program that offers an associates degree or certificate in this field. There are many schools that offer online degree or certification programs that you can complete from home.
