In many states, one may become a medical transcriptionist with a mere "career diploma," and not necessarily a degree. In other states, though, a degree may be required. It all just depends on whether or not the state regulates medical transcriptionists; and, if it does, what are its educational requirements.
Many medical transcription training programs are not degree-based, however; and so a simple career school diploma course of training will likelly do.
If a degree is required, then it'll likely be an "Associate of Applied Science" (AAS) degree. An AAS takes two (2) years of full-time study to complete; and once completed, if the state regulates the profession, a state licensing test of some kind may be required. Probably not, but who knows... again, it depends on the state.
Figure out if your state regulates medical transcriptionists; and, if so, what are the training/educational requirements. Then go from there.
If there are no regulations or licensing requirements, and so, then, no training/educational requirements, then it's likely that you could take a career college course -- maybe even an online course -- and then apply for a medical transcriptionist job.
It depends on the training (and/or certification - if required by the company) that you are going to take for this field. If you take it via training centers or via the training room for the company you work for (since most MT companies offer free medical transcription training to newbies in the field), then the duration of the training will have to be based on the schedules that you have. If you will take up online training programs for them, since most of them are self paced, then it would be up to you on how long it would take you to finish up the course. Most online courses would last 390 to 420 training hours.
Medical transcription tends to be the sort of thing that physicians hire companies, rather than individuals, to do. In other words, most medical transcriptionists tend to work for companies which contract to physicians offices, clinics and hospitals. Medical transcriptionists often do not work directly for a medical office, clinic or hospital. Therefore, find some companies in your town or county or state that does medical transcription, and find out what kind of training and/or education you need. That's the best place to start.
