OST2613C - Medical Transcription III 2 hours Lecture, 1 hour Lab, 3 credit(s)
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisite(s): OST 2612C
Course Description:
This course is a continuation of OST 2612C Medical Transcription II. Students continue transcribing, proofreading and editing healthcare documents with advanced-level dictation covering the specialties of orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, and others. Students apply advanced medical terminology and are introduced to transcription from increasingly difficult dictation situations due to accent, speed, background noise, and dictating style. Students meet increasingly difficult standards of speed and accuracy while continuing to demonstrate proper application of the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity Book of Style rules and guidelines. The study of human disease processes continues with emphasis on diagnostic and laboratory testing techniques, recognition of normal versus abnormal values, and appropriate testing and treatment protocols. Industry technology is explored, including word expanders and speech recognition tools.

Withdrawing From a CourseStudents may officially withdraw from course(s) during any given term, provided they follow the appropriate policy and procedure. Following the conclusion of the Drop/Add Period, a student may officially withdraw without academic penalty from any credit course, provided he or she has submitted the appropriate forms to the Student Services Office no later than the published deadline. The published deadline reflects approximately (but no more than) 70% of the term, based upon the course’s scheduled duration. It is the student’s responsibility to submit these withdrawal forms; failure to do so may result in a grade of F in the course. Under the Forgiveness Policy, a student is allowed only three attempts in any one course: one initial enrollment and two repeats. A student is not allowed to withdraw from a third course attempt. Limited admission programs may have specific guidelines regarding withdrawing from courses that vary from this policy. Please see the student handbook for that program for more information. If a student stops attending class, the grade earned, usually an F, is assigned and posted. Prior to withdrawing from a course, the student should consult with the Financial Aid Office to determine what impact, if any, withdrawal from the course will have on his or her financial aid status. A student cannot use course withdrawal to avoid academic dishonesty penalties. A student who has been penalized for academic dishonesty in a course is not eligible to withdraw from the course.
Repeating a CourseUnder the Forgiveness Policy, a student is allowed only three attempts in any one college credit course: one initial enrollment and two repeats. Under certain circumstances, a student may petition to repeat a credit course beyond the three attempts. Limited admission programs may have specific guidelines regarding repeating courses that vary from this policy. Please see the student handbook for that program for more information. The student should be aware that repeating a course may result in a higher course cost. A course cannot be repeated unless the previously earned grade is a D, F, or W (the Polk State College Catalog provides further details regarding this process). Prior to repeating a course, the student should consult with the Financial Aid Office to determine what impact, if any, repeating the course will have on his or her financial aid status.
Academic DishonestyEach student is responsible for his or her work. It is assumed that each student is honest and will abide by this standard; however, in the event that there is an indication or suspicion of cheating/plagiarism, the situation shall be dealt with in accordance with the published College policy. Copies of this policy are available in the Student Services Office. Students should also refer to the course syllabus for more specific information.
