Medical Transcription - Health Records is an Ontario College Certificate offered part-time and online by Georgian College, providing the essential elements of medical science, communication skills, and transcription techniques. Students build theoretical and practical knowledge through case studies drawn from medical reports across a range of clinical specialties, developing the accuracy and terminology skills required to transcribe physician dictation into health records. Courses are taken one to three at a time on a course-by-course basis rather than as a fixed full-time cohort, allowing flexible, self-paced enrollment. The programme suits people already working in a health-related role, as well as new entrants aiming for positions in medical transcription, health information management, and health records administration within hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. Graduates gain the technical and communication skills needed to produce accurate, standardized medical documentation.
