EXPLORE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION

MISSOULA –

The University of Montana College of Technology will hold an information session Thursday, Jan. 28, for those interested in pursuing careers in medical transcription.

The event will begin at 7 p.m. in Room AD16 of the COT Administration Building, located at 909 South Ave. W. in Missoula.

COT has partnered with Career Step, a leading health care education company, to offer training in medical transcription. The new program will expand COT’s online noncredit offerings.

Students who enroll in the course will have the flexibility to train on their own schedules. Students who take the course do not have to apply for admission to the University.

For a limited time, Career Step also is offering a free laptop to each student who enrolls in the program.

“We’re excited about the career training opportunities our partnership will bring to the students of The University of Montana,” said Justin Pettit, Career Step’s vice president of academic partners. “Through our partnership with UM COT, students will gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the growing field of medical transcription.”
