Medical Transcription Training for Nurses Course Contents:
As explained on the MTSTAT for Nurses page, your prior education has already taught you more terminology, anatomy, and pharmacology than any medical transcription course can provide. It is unnecessary to revisit combining forms, body cavities, and routes of administration in full training.
You will need to do quick reviews of each of these areas though and be able to pass tests for each section.
The Training Module focuses on building transcription skills, and includes a refresher in English grammar and punctuation from our medical transcription style and formatting module of the course. It is important that you learn proper medical record formatting and style, along with familiarity of digital transcription.
Many medical transcription courses offer very few hours of dictation. We take a different approach, because the goal is not to transcribe a few hours of dictation. The real goal is to be able to transcribe 300 lines per hour with 98% accuracy. So we combine many hours of dictation along with dictations in the many different medical fields, and different types of reports.
Some of the dictation included in medical transcription courses are over 20 years old. As you know, new techniques, new equipment, and new drugs have developed over the past few decades. It's important to practice with both current dictation and some that is a little older. We do include a little bit of older dictations and a lot of newer ones. This is to keep you familiar with older drug names that are still being used and to expose you to the newer side of things as well.
Our dictations are donated by real doctors and hospitals (of course any real personal information is removed for HIPAA laws), so it's always fresh and is, for all practical purposes, unlimited. You won't have any nasty surprises on your first day as an MT, because you will have been transcribing actual doctor dictations from similar services or doctors that may hire you.
Each dictation includes a transcript key, so you can check your work immediately and correct any errors in transcription, formatting, or style.
The dictation is organized to begin with simple reports, so you can become familiar with the equipment and formatting, while building speed and a smooth transcription style.
At strategic points in the dictation practice, you will be given a timed test so we can evaluate your progress and help you with tips to correct any problem areas. Your goal will be to reach 300 lines per hour with 98% accuracy before you take the final exam that establishes your speed and accuracy for employment purposes.
