Medical & Legal Transcription

The great demand for documentation of medical and legal information continues to rise constantly. The conversion of medical records into electronic format, which in some countries is required from hospitals, is done by a specially trained workforce within a 24-hour period. To address the rising global demand for competent yet cost-effective workers, academic institutions specialising on medical transcription have been established while existing schools have begun offering medical transcription courses.
