Transcription Online at Kaplan University
AAS in Medical Transcription:
The Associate of Applied Science in Medical Transcription
lets you achieve the specialized skills and knowledge you need
to become a certified professional, online, on your own
schedule.
As a medical transcriptionist, you’ll be responsible for
turning doctors’ daily dictation tapes into clear, concise,
print and electronic documents. Such records are the main
reference for health care decisions made by patients and their
physicians. They must be produced in a timely, accurate, and
totally confidential manner.
Medical transcriptionists enjoy a taste of medical training
and exposure to many different medical disciplines. They work in
hospitals, physicians’ offices, and in a wide range of other
medical facilities. More and more, work is being outsourced to
independent contractors who operate their businesses from home.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities
for medical transcriptionists will grow faster than the national
average through 2016, as America’s population continues to grow
and age.*
Our associate’s degree program focuses on developing
self-discipline, strong language skills, typing accuracy and
speed, and computer literacy. Training includes studies of
medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, drugs and
pharmacology, and medical ethics. Communications skills such as
writing, editing, proofreading, and office correspondence are
also covered.
