Do you want to know how long does it take to become a Medical Transcriptionist / Healthcare Documentation Specialist? In order to give you an accurate answer, I am going to add the sentence “long and successful career” into that question.
If you are looking to be successful in the MT/HDS field, you will need formal training. CanScribe Career College is considered to be one of the most trusted training programs in the industry. This is one of the reasons that our graduates go on to have long and successful careers as MTs.
And how long does the training take? As per AHDI guidelines, a program should be 1 year in length, just as ours is. Some great features include the ability to work at your own pace and complete the course in a faster timeline, especially if you have previous medical experience. We have had a few students complete the course in 4 – 5 months, but the average is 9 – 12 months. Schools that promote completion within a shorter time frame are just not providing all the facts or have a very minimalistic program that will leave you very disappointed and not qualified to work in the industry.
Our MT/HDS course provides the most up to date training. It also includes a 100-hour practicum that often leads right into a job offer. We have employers throughout North America and Australia constantly contacting us for graduates – we can’t meet the demand! So if you are looking for a successful work-at-home career, look no further than CanScribe. We can help you get there.
