Medical Secretarial Diploma



 
College Dublin Swords Pitman Centre
Description The history of Pitman Training goes back to the 19th century when Sir Isaac Pitman established Pitman Colleges providing office skills training, but then the courses were always for men! We have come a long way since then and the first Pitman Training Centre in Ireland opened in Dublin in 1994, offering computer training courses. By 2008 the network of training locations in Ireland had grown to 14 ensuring many more learners could gain local access to learning and qualifications recognised by employers throughout the country. We are still the experts for typing training and shorthand, as well as Computerised Accounts, Book-keeping courses and Secretarial Training. This includes Legal Secretarial training courses, Medical Secretarial training courses and Exec PA for those wishing to achieve a top level qualification.

Medical Secretarial Diploma


Give your career a health check with a Pitman Training Medical Secretarial Diploma

 

Medical secretaries fulfil a crucial role as the link between doctor and patient, and for this reason are required to be tactful, discreet and, above all, sensitive. Of the greatest importance, however, is the secretary’s ability to successfully complete a complex array of administrative and technical tasks relating to the job, such as compiling confidential letters, typing reports for patient records and medical journals and ensuring the general flawless running of the office.

 

Medical secretaries are also expected by employers in the healthcare sector to be proficient in medical terminology, medical audio-typing and medical word processing skills.

 

Nationally recognised skills for medical secretaries are generally considered to be advantageous to any individual seeking employment in this sector.

 

The Pitman Training Medical Secretarial Diploma combines expert secretarial skills with a broad understanding of medical terminology, to enable individuals to apply for jobs within the healthcare sector. Successful completion of the Medical Secretary – An Introduction course will give the student the opportunity to achieve the AMSPAR

Certificate in Medical Terminology qualification (additional home study is recommended).

 

Learning these skills is easy with Pitman Training. Our tried and trusted methods are the best available. You will work at your own pace in our comfortable premises, helped by experienced tutors as required. You choose your own hours and keep the reference materials when the course is over. On completion, you will receive a Pitman Training Diploma that is recognised nationally and internationally by employers.

 

Believe in yourself and invest in your future!
