Contains What You Need To Know, Without Unnecessary Requirements
Many programs require that a student take biology or socio-economic issues or extended word processing functions or business English or other courses that simply are unnecessary
Some on-site courses place you in a generic medical terminology class that contains a variety of healthcare professionals. Those terminology classes are not geared for medical transcription. The perspective of what an MT must know is vastly different than other professionals. We must concentrate on spelling and a very brief knowledge of definitions. Medical terminology should be geared towards basic words, but also the more advanced terms, such as names of sutures or slang terms that are used in dictation. And yet most programs do not include this vital information.
