Medical Transcription Course
New Zealand’s premier medical transcription course.
Medical transcription is primarily an online occupation, giving you a real opportunity to work from the comfort of your own home. A Medical Transcriptionist types the notes dictated by a doctor into a written document. This document is then added to the patient’s permanent medical record.
