Quality training will be the key to your success as an MT. Our course includes focused training in three basic skill requirements - keyboarding, grammar and punctuation, and medical terminology. Most importantly, our course will provide you with extensive "hands-on" practice to give you the experience you need to help you get hired. Students have up to one year to complete the course and you can study in the privacy of your own home or on campus.
All of our students receive a one year license through Benchmark which includes electronic versions of the Stedman´s Medical Dictionary, Quick Look Drug Book, Stedman´s Medical Spellchecker, Stedman´s Abbreviations, Acronyms & Symbols Stedman´s Medical & Surgical Equipment Words, Stedman´s Medical Terms & Phrases, Normal Lab Values, QAlerts (Dangerous Abbreviations), Physicians and Dentists Database, AHDI Book of Style and an AHDI 1 year Membership. Additional reference materials include a USB transcription foot pedal, downloadable transcription/footpedal software, a Spectra SP-PC Headset, and the L´il Red Notebook Software.
CanScribe graduates also participate in a mandatory Practicum where they transcribe real patient files. Graduates are encouraged to search out onsite Practicum opportunities with local healthcare facilities during the transcription portion of their training. CanScribe can help graduates gain entry into an ´at-home´ Practicum if necessary. A separate, signed Confidentiality Agreement will be required for the Practicum. CanScribe also provides help with job prospecting to all of our graduates after graduation.
