Did you know that employers are willing to waive 2-5 years of experience when hiring CanScribe graduates? That’s because CanScribe thoroughly prepares students for the workforce. With a 100-hour practicum with leading Medical Transcription service providers throughout North America, CanScribe students graduate with the confidence of having had real work experience.
Practicums (also called internships or work placement programs) are designed to provide students with practical work experience. They emphasize the importance of learning by doing. They’re where students can transfer their knowledge to actual work. Practicums can also open many opportunities to network and make important contacts within the industry.
However, not many students truly realize the importance of practicums. When it comes to choosing a school, the first thing people typically want to know about is the cost of tuition. But it’s a good idea to think about your education as an investment for your future. Before enrolling in a school, it’s vital to ensure you graduate with more than just an expensive piece of paper.
A decade ago, simply having a good academic standing was enough to qualify you for a decent job. Today, good grades just don’t cut it. When it comes to securing employment, most companies want to make sure you can put what you learned to practice. Practicums allow students to earn real hands-on experience with the best in the industry.
CanScribe is one of the only Medical Transcription schools that offer students a practicum. The CanScribe practicum allows students to earn real-world work experience with the leading companies in the industry. With CanScribe, there is no obligation to find your own company to work with during your practicum. CanScribe will take care of that for you, having developed partnerships with major Medical Transcription employers throughout North America and Australia.
In fact, CanScribe has partnered with M*Modal, one of the largest Medical Transcription service providers in North America as a practicum partner. Having a practicum with a company like M*Modal is an incredible opportunity to work with one of the leading companies. What’s more, M*Modal is specifically seeking to hire 50 CanScribe graduates per month, most of which are hired before even completing their practicum.
As a boon to your education, a practicum will allow you to truly delve into the Medical Transcription industry. Because CanScribe students are trained so thoroughly, a remarkable 88% of graduates are offered permanent employment right out of their practicum! There’s no doubt about it. Graduating with real work experience will definitely look good on your resume, setting you above the rest when applying for jobs. For CanScribe students, this makes the transition between graduation and employment is seamless.

Robert was born in Midland, Ontario on January 11, 1953 and passed away in Nanaimo on November 20, 2009. Robert was the youngest of three. I was the oldest, Doug was the middle child. Our mother and father were divorced when we were very young. Our mother remarried a man who had three sons and then another girl and another boy was born. So there was eight of us altogether. Robert moved to Toronto, Ontario after high school and worked in various jobs there. He then moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 1976 and on to British Columbia in 1977. He lived in Vancouver, Victoria, and finally resided in Nanaimo. Robert had a great sense of determination and optimism. The more he could learn, the happier he was. He continued his education in B.C. at Simon Fraser University. He also took courses in the culinary field and worked as a chef for many years. He also studied law and worked as a paralegal. He studied religions and languages (he could speak many languages) and took many computer courses. He took a Medical Terminology Course, and Emergency First Aid which included CPR.
Unfortunately, Robert's health was never great. He was born a "Blue Baby" and not expected to live. He lived with the HIV virus and with cancer. This was a big factor in his determination to be able to work at home and was why he was taking the Medical Transcription course. Robert was involved with various charitable organizations for many, many years. He cooked numerous meals at food kitchens for the homeless, especially at Christmas and other holidays. He spent time at various senior centers, volunteering, and visiting the residents there. He was an active volunteer at the Nanaimo Parole Citizen Advisory Committee and one of the outstanding jobs he completed for them was their Committee By-laws.
I am very proud of the things that my brother achieved in his lifetime. I have received so many letters, calls and cards since his passing, all of them telling me how much he was liked and how much he will be missed. Robert spent most of his time helping others. I'm attaching a couple of pictures, one when he was very young. If there is any other information you need, please let me know. Thank you again for setting up this scholarship. It means so much to me that his name will carry on. And I know he would be extremely pleased that his name was helping others. That was his number one goal in his life - to help others.
