Emily Griffith Opportunity School takes off this fall with its first online course, Medical Transcription.

The 402-hour course blends the convenience of online learning with the expertise of an instructor who is a practicing medical transcriptionist. The $2,400 price includes a 72-hour internship and help with job placement.

Transcription is currently one of the fastest growing careers with thousands of jobs available across the country. Starting salaries range from $24,000 to $35,000.

An open house and free seminar will be held on Wednesday, August 14 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. in room 425 at Emily Griffith Opportunity School, 1250 Welton St. For more information, call 303-575-4715.
