Transmed

What Transmed does

Transmed is a privately held Canadian professional services firm headquartered in Campbellton, New Brunswick, founded in 1996 by Rachel Arseneau-Ferguson. The company delivers two integrated core services: medical transcription across more than 15 specialties (cardiology, dermatology, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, psychiatry, medical imaging, and others) and certified English-French / French-English translation for healthcare, scientific, administrative, and technological documents. The translation bureau was added in 2007 under the leadership of Nathalie Levesque.

Operationally, Transmed runs as a telework-first organization with a workforce of over 125 specialists — transcriptionists, editors, translators, and team leads — each focused on specific medical terminology domains. Production relies on a rigorous two-stage quality assurance process: initial transcription followed by revision by dedicated experienced resources, with a quality assurance coordinator overseeing consistency. Voice recognition technology is used as a productivity tool, with human specialists reviewing and correcting outputs before delivery. Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours. The company currently operates 60+ simultaneous transcription projects.

The business model is professional services revenue, quote-based and tailored per client, sold directly to enterprise healthcare customers in Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick. Named customers include CHU de Québec Université Laval, Dynacare, Imagerie Mascouche, Imagerie Terrebonne, and Radiologie PB. The company's competitive positioning rests on bilingual (French/English) capability, multi-decade customer relationships (many clients since 1996), and a specialty-trained workforce. As of June 2026, Transmed transitioned ownership to Archi-Médic, with key management retained for continuity.
