AdminSecret's Medical Secretary Resources
Medical secretaries perform highly specialized work requiring knowledge of technical terminology and procedures. Medical secretaries transcribe dictation, prepare correspondence, and assist physicians or medical scientists with reports, speeches, articles, and conference proceedings. They also record simple medical histories, arrange for patients to be hospitalized, and order supplies. Most medical secretaries need to be familiar with insurance rules, billing practices, and hospital or laboratory procedures.
AdminSecret compiled here some of our best articles for aspiring and current medical secretaries.
