Medical transcription continues to grow as an industry here in Davao City. Local medical transcription service organizations (MTSOs) are looking to hire MTs to grow their companies.

MTC Academy Davao Joins Kadayawan
MTC Academy Davao's students & staff joined the Kadayawan 2007 floral float competition with the aim of showcasing the largest medical transcription school in the Philippines during the celebrations. The aim is to promote medical transcription as an industry and to contribute in the success of the festival.
This year's theme "Lumadnong Kagikan, Mabungahong Kinaiyahan, Gasa sa Kahitas-an", represents Davaoeños fruitful years and rewarding opportunities. This includes the development of the IT industry and the rising opportunities particularly in medical transcription.
We would like to thank all our sponsors, students, and staff who have given their support for the success of the floral float. A job well done to the students and staff who lent a hand in decorating from the night of August 18 till the early morning of August 19. And of course, a big shout out to the students & staff who were not able to sleep the night before and yet volunteered to walk with the float during the parade.
Congratulations MTC Academy students and staff for winning the 4th place!!! Not bad for a first timer.
