Hey All!

I’ve found a website touting “medical transcription phrases, words, and helpful hints” which I visited and would like to recommend that you visit as well.

It’s subheading reads, “The Complete Guide For Medical Transcriptionists All Over The World.” Now that sounds like hype, but read on:

Besides the standard medical terminology that medical transcriptionists use, this site also has some specific operative sample reports in many different specialties which I find very helpful, especially to those just starting out in medical transcription. These are great reference reports which can be copied, pasted into your word processor, and printed out for reference; or, you can just bookmark the website and go back there from time to time if you need.

I like the way this site is designed and set up. Specific medical terms that may be used in a Physical Examination are listed, broken down by each specific category such as General Appearance, Vital Signs, HEENT, Neck, Heart, etc.

Here is what the author of this site has to say:

“This site has been developed with the intention of helping MTs. When I was new in the profession, I always wished I could go to a site that offers a word list on different subjects I’d encounter in the course of a dictation. Having worked in the field of medical transcription a number of years now, I feel finally I am qualified to share my accrued knowledge and experience with fellow MTs.

I’ve always had the habit of writing down useful words I’d encounter during the course of my work. These are words I myself have encountered during my work as an MT. These words are the most common ones (BUT NOT ALL) that occur in a doctor’s dictation. I’ve organized them mostly in alphabetical order for easy reference.

Also, MTs would find the Google Custom Search Engine (bottom of the page) quite useful, as I’ve included MT-related sites in the search engine. Consequently, search results would mostly be medical transcription focused, but would also show all other results that one normally would see in a search. I do hope all medical transcriptionists find this site useful - thats the purpose behind this site. Well, happy transcribing!”

Hats off to this medical transcriptionist who is willing to help all of us learn more about medical transcription! Do yourself a favor; treat yourself by visiting this site. You’ll really love the information you find there.
