HIMS 2230 Medical Transcription II

4.5 - 0.0 - 4.5

Prerequisite

(1) HIMS 2220

Course Description

This course builds on the foundation provided in the beginning medical transcription course (HIMS 2220) and bridges the gap between the typically easy-to-understand dictations to the more difficult, often indistinct or ethnic dictation heard in a healthcare setting. Students entering the field as a medical transcriptionist develop proficiency in the use of editing and speech recognition technology and are prepared for their careers in private practices, clinics, hospital settings, or self-employed entrepreneurs.
