Can medical transcription be taught in the classroom?
The results of the concentrated transcription program provided objective information that gives credibility to both sides of the transcriptionist training debate. In addition, the results provided the objective data needed to support changes in the curriculum. Students who are exposed to solid classroom teaching, coupled with enough opportunities to develop and practice transcription skills, have a better chance for success than those who rely solely on classroom instruction or solely on experience or on-the-job training. It is clear that increasing the number of hours of actual transcription results in an increase in the productivity and accuracy of the student's medical transcription.
