MT Institute

OTSI School (A member of HIMAP)

To address the shortage of qualified medical transcriptionists in a growing industry in the Philippines, we launched OTSI School in August 2006. It was put up to help students, who wish to have a transcription career, be job-ready upon graduation. Based on our experience in OTSI Baguio as a transcription company, successful applicants still had to be trained in-house to take on the job. We prepare aspiring transcriptionists to take on transcription jobs competently on day one. Ask our graduates!

The Transcription industry is huge!

Estimated at more than US$20 billion today, medical transcription is currently one of the fastest growing industries with an average growth of 10% a year. Yet, there is an extreme shortage of transcriptionists. According to leading market research company Technavio, the global medical transcription market will grow by USD 16.64 billion during 2020-2024.

According to a report from Fact.MR, by the end of the forecast period 2023-2033, it is anticipated that the market will exceed US$ 95.0 billion, indicating significant growth and opportunities in the industry.

The global thrust is to outsource the job overseas due to lower operating costs. The Philippines is a country of choice of US physicians, hospitals, and clinics because of our English proficiency, exposure to American culture, and reasonable labor wages. Legal and General Transcription are growing just as fast. If you want to go that route, our MT graduates can easily take on LT/GT or Medical Scriber jobs.

Our vision: to provide the transcription industry with the best transcriptionists in the Philippines through: a specially-designed course curricula for Medical Transcription that combine our first-hand knowledge of the business at OTSI Baguio and the industry, and the experiences of other transcription schools in the Philippines.

Our location: Las Pinas City, Metro Manila. It is a short walking distance away from SM Southmall, near several banks.

Our trainers/teachers: Veteran professionals (medical practitioners, medical language editors, English professors, and computer professionals).

Our graduates: To date, more than 90% of our graduates are already gainfully employed — or self-employed, home-based — here and abroad.

We offer the following short-term programs:

Allied Medical Transcription: For graduates (licensed or unlicensed) of medical courses like Nursing, PT, Medical Technology, Pharmacy, Biology, Chemistry, etc. You only need to pass our Medical Competency Exam to take advantage of our 200-hour course.

Regular Medical Transcription: For non-medical college graduates and undergraduates. 340 hours plus 160 hours in-house OJT.
