This information from the Three Rivers Endoscopy Center offers medical transcriptionists the opportunity to become better informed in the medical specialty of gastroenterology in general, and gastrointestinal endoscopy specifically. This information was written (very well written) to inform patients, but it works well for the purpose of MTs gaining some basic knowledge on the various areas of gastro. By viewing and studying endoscopy images and the accompanying explanatory text you will get valuable knowledge that will undoubtedly help you when transcribing dictation. So, if you are wanting to gain new knowledge, refine, hone, or augment your existing knowledge in these areas, this information should help.
