Aside from medical knowledge, a quality transcription requires a Transcriptionist to have excellent listening skills so that the recorded information can be typed.

Medical Transcriptionists are generally employed in hospitals, by physicians, in medical transcription service offices and other such places. Experienced medical transcriptionists progress to supervisory and managerial positions.

While a Medical Transcriptionist school program will lead eventually to receiving a certificate by successfully completing the training program, it will not entitle you to use the title Certified Medical Transcriptionist and you will have to challenge the AHDI examination.
