Medical Office Transcription, 3rd Edition, provides an introduction into teaching medical transcription. The text/workbook reviews anatomy, medical terminology, symptoms and disease conditions, and grammar as it relates to the field of medical transcription. Editing skills related to the chapter’s content are also covered, teaching students to select the right term, use the correct format, and spell and punctuate correctly. The authentic dictation recordings, now available on CD-ROM with the student textbook, develop speed and accuracy in transcribing medical documents. The one-semester text can be used independently, self-paced, or in a traditional classroom.

Students use this 12-chapter text-workbook and accompanying dictation program to learn to transcribe, proof, and edit a variety of medical documents, including chart notes, history and physical reports, consultations, office procedures notes, x-ray reports, and more. New chapter includes review and case studies. Prerequisites include familiarity with basic English, keyboarding and transcription skills, and knowledge of basic medical terminology.
