OAS 217 - Medical Transcription II (3 credit hours)

Offered in Variable Terms (3-0-0)
This course expands the transcription skills by the use of dictation in specialty areas of medicine including dictation by professionals who speak English as their second language. Because the course materials to be transcribed are dictated by physicians and/or medical practitioners in realistic settings, the students become accustomed to transcribing dictation that is very similar to that encountered on the job. Students further develop skills in efficient usage of reference materials and medical terminology. Critical thinking/decision making and in-depth proofreading/editing activities are stressed.
PREREQUISITE(S): OAS 116, OAS 117, OAS 122 and OAS 224.
