Medical Programs


Medical Transcription -- Hybrid Program




This hybrid approach to learning Medical Transcription was developed in order to provide students the flexibility of doing most of their schoolwork at home. Using a combination of instructor guided and work-on-your-own scheduling, students attend intermittent classes on the ACC campus, but complete assignments and testing at home in an “online” classroom. Conducted over 3 modules, the medical transcription course is structured, but the hybrid learning format requires students to be very disciplined. Upon successful completion of the course, students are then prepared to enter the health services industry as a professional medical transcriptionist. An informational session will be held on the evening of Wednesday, January 14th at 6:00 p.m. during which the medical transcription program and related career opportunities will be discussed. A demonstration covering how online learning actually works will also be given. Please contact the ACC Center for Personal and Professional Development at 743-2238 to register for this free informational session.
