This yahoo group is created for the takers, finishers and other affiliates of the Medical Transcription Course offered by Butuan City Colleges, CARAGA Region, Philippines.

As part of the 2.5 Billion-peso budgeted PGMA-TSWP or the national President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo – Training for Work Scholarship Program, Butuan City Colleges is pioneering in the CARAGA Region, Philippines in offering this course to aid the government, represented locally by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), in achieving their target to reach more than 15,363 new medical transcriptionists trained by the program by the end of 2010. This course would inculcate core competencies on its trainees in the use of medical terminology to carry out the tasks and produce text from audio files. To achieve this, we have designed this special course curriculum that combines our first-hand knowledge of the business and the industry, the experiences of other medical transcription schools in the Philippines and globally, and the basic course structure provided by TESDA.
