Medical Typists must be proficient in medical terminology and jargon, ensuring that transcriptions are clear, precise, and coherent.

In addition to transcribing, Medical Typists must edit and proofread documents for errors, format them according to institutional guidelines, and maintain the confidentiality of patient information, complying with laws like HIPAA. They utilize specialized transcription equipment and software, often entering information into Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. Accuracy is paramount in this position as these records are integral for patient care, billing, legal evidence, and the overall operation of healthcare services.
