Medical Secretarial Diploma

A secretarial position within the medical profession is the best of both worlds for some - a responsible office job plus the satisfaction of being involved with people’s health and possibly even contact with patients.  That’s why specialist Medical Secretarial jobs are very well regarded.  The skills required cover a wide range; from keyboard and typing speed; to total mastery of the most commonly used software; to knowledge of the necessary medical terminology.  Shorthand is an additional option, if you wish.

  • Learning these medical-specific skills is easy with Pitman Training.  Our tried and trusted methods are the best available and are designed for speedy results.
  • You work at your own pace in our comfortable premises, helped by experienced tutors as required.  The atmosphere is relaxed and non-competitive.
  • You choose your own hours, working when it suits you – and keep the reference books and training manuals when the course is over.
  • The subjects covered are shown below.  Together, they will equip you to start a new career as a Medical Secretary.
  • On completion of your final exams, you will receive a Pitman Training Diploma that is recognised nationally and internationally by employers.
