Captioning for Medical School Classes

Fast, Accurate, Reliable Captioning

We are the medical terminology captioning specialists. We are an ever-expanding team of highly skilled, energetic, and caring captioners who are adept at medical terminology and the demanding environment of medical school classes. We work daily to provide the very best remote and onsite captioning service for the white coat professions. We place a premium on accuracy in the realtime environment, thus minimizing any need for after-class editing, and ensuring quick transcript delivery for students who have extraordinary demands on their time.

Which Students Need These Services?

With the advent of the Americans with Disabilities Act almost 30 years ago, students with hearing loss have received proper accommodation all throughout their grade school, high school, and undergraduate years. A growing number of people who were formerly excluded from graduate and professional schools (medical school, dental school, veterinary school, etc.) are now ready and able to shoot for the stars. These students need and deserve captioners who are specially trained and experienced in these fields.

How Does It Work?

The stenographer listens in to classroom lectures and turns the audio into correctly spelled and punctuated text in fractions of a second! The captions are then streamed to a secure online portal which customers can read using the web browser of their computer, phone, or tablet. Using internet streaming technology, participants can read captions on their laptop, tablet, or mobile device from wherever they are!

Why White Coat Captioning?

We have built a solid reputation for excellence. We have years and years of day-in-and-day-out experience in captioning medical, veterinary, and dental school classes. Some of us have been through medical school three and four and five times already. Many of the students we have served, and their faculty, have jokingly suggested we ought to be taking the medical board exams by now.

But our real talents lie in writing the words to help our medical students with hearing loss to excel and to attain their dreams of becoming doctors, pharmacists, dentists, veterinarians, nurses, veterinary technicians, and more.

That is why we have created White Coat Captioning.

Student Testimonials

"I am fortunate to have White Coat Captioning supporting me. My captioner, Norma Miller, is accurate, fast, and reliable. Norma is the best, but she is an even more amazing person. She really cares, and that is what makes working with her such a great experience."

Colin Hill

University of Virginia School of Medicine

"Being a hard-of-hearing student, having professors with heavy accents is always a nightmare. It's hard enough to hear professors that speak without an accent, so those with accents, especially very difficult ones, always make it near impossible. Having White Coat Captioning -- Norma and the other transcriptionists -- available made my life ten times easier! I no longer had to fear having professors with accents because I knew that I would have help, no matter what. I was honestly surprised at how well everyone did with the heavy accents and I seriously do not think I would have managed without them! Even the most difficult mumblers with heavy accents were nothing for them. I could never thank her enough for getting me through what I consider one of the most difficult times in my life."

"When White Coat Captioning started captioning my lectures in my second year, I noticed an amazing difference. All of the energy I had been spending on hearing the words, I could now spend learning the material. Norma Miller has made an incredibly positive impact on my medical education. Not only has she made my life so much easier, but she has done so in a kind and professional manner. She blended into the classroom atmosphere and allowed my classmates and professors to quickly become comfortable with her presence. In fact, classmates who sat behind us often commented that they read over our shoulders to get information that they too had missed. She is intelligent and adaptable to any situation, which inspires confidence in her and her abilities. Her captioning is highly accurate, with very little delay. She is passionate about her work and is a great advocate for equal access for all. I consider myself lucky to be able to say that White Coat Captioning is my CART provider."

"I first learned about live captioning for classes when I was repeating a course at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and I have to say that I am forever grateful for Norma and her team of captioners. Since using White Coat, I never have that “left-out” feeling anymore and never left the classroom wondering and confused. I was able to “listen” word for word what all of my professors were saying, especially the foreign professors. My grades have significantly improved and my knowledge and confidence have improved as well. Upon transferring to Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine, I had to make sure that I would have captioning because I wasn’t going to transfer without it. Luckily for me, Norma and her team were able to follow me to Iowa and are still helping me to achieve my dream, one day at a time."
