Description

Teaching users how to transcribe actual medical dictation so that they can develop the selective hearing skills and experience necessary to gain competency as a medical transcriptionist, this guide offers a unique combination of authentic physician dictation by body systems, coordinated readings and exercises by medical specialty, and supplementary information vital to every medical transcriptionist.

Includes a CD-ROM containing all the audio dictation along with on-screen audio controls and a word processing unit, plus a medical transcript central website.
