Last week I heard Obama give a speech saying that one of the first things he wants to change in the medical health industry is making all medical records electronic, so less mistakes can be made on patients health records.
Does this mean that in the near future medical transcription jobs will be becoming extinct?

No. Electronic transcribing is far from accurate, and it will be a very long time before doctors and hospitals rely on them instead of people.
No, it will be quite awhile before electronic typing is perfected (if ever), and people will always be needed to edit computer transcriptions.
