No, enrolling in a Medical Transcription course does not require prior knowledge of medical terminology. Anatomy, physiology, and common medical terminology are taught in the program's modules.
Nonetheless, learning can be facilitated by a basic level of familiarity. You can understand complex reports more quickly and increase transcription accuracy both during training and on the job if you are more familiar with medical terminology.
