Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Medical Transcription field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Medical Transcription majors need many skills, but most especially Reading Comprehension. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Medical Transcription majors need more than the average amount of Active Listening, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Time Management, Social Perceptiveness, Monitoring, Speaking, Coordination, Judgment and Decision Making, Critical Thinking, Active Learning, Complex Problem Solving, Programming, Learning Strategies, Operation and Control, Service Orientation, Negotiation, Systems Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Persuasion, Quality Control Analysis, Management of Personnel Resources, Instructing, Systems Evaluation, Mathematics, Operations Analysis, Science, Technology Design, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Repairing, Management of Financial Resources, and Management of Material Resources.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Medical Transcription majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Active Listening is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Active Listening, Writing, Speaking, Time Management, Critical Thinking, Monitoring, Social Perceptiveness, Judgment and Decision Making, Active Learning, Complex Problem Solving, Coordination, Learning Strategies, Service Orientation, Systems Analysis, Persuasion, Instructing, Negotiation, Management of Personnel Resources, Systems Evaluation, Mathematics, Operation Monitoring, Quality Control Analysis, Programming, Science, Operations Analysis, Operation and Control, Technology Design, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Repairing, Management of Financial Resources, and Management of Material Resources are the three most important skills for people in the field.
