12 courses with the subject MLT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MLT 1412Hematology1
3 credits | Lecture/Lab This course introduces students to fundamental concepts in hematology including red blood cell development, normal physiology of red blood cells, and red blood cell disorders. The laboratory component complements the lecture and includes microscopic examination of blood and bone marrow slides and common laboratory testing by both manual and automated methods. Phlebotomy skills are introduced and are integrated throughout the course.
| Lecture/Lab Laboratory Techniques is an introductory course covering the basic principles, procedures, and policies conducted in the hospital laboratory. Students will be introduced to the methodology and entry level techniques used in each department as well as mathematical calculations required in each. Students will explore options within the Medical Technician field as well as behavioral and professional aspects of the career.
4 credits | Lecture/Lab Medical Microbiology 1 is the study of a wide variety of bacterial microorganisms frequently isolated in the clinical laboratory. Emphasis of the course is safety, staining, isolation, and identification of bacteria.
2 credits | Lecture Clinical Chemistry 1 covers detailed theory and representative laboratory analysis of carbohydrates, lipids and lipoproteins, proteins, clinical enzymology and metabolic analytes including ammonia, bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and uric acid. Basic quality control concepts are introduced within the context of instrumentation and quality control.
3 credits | Lecture/Lab This course covers peripheral blood and bone marrow abnormalities of white blood cells relating to MINNESOTA NORTH COLLEGE | 2024-25 CURRICULUM CATALOG malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. The role of the laboratory in diagnosis, classification and assessment of treatment outcomes will be stressed. This course also introduces students to the principles and disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis and reviews hematology instrumentation and analysis of instrumental data. Laboratory time is devoted to microscopic examination of blood and bone marrow slides and performing common laboratory tests by both manual and automated methods. Prerequisities: MLT 1412
| Lecture/Lab Immunology covers the basic theory of cellular and humoral immunity with emphasis on antigen- antibody reactions in specific disease. Diagnostic principles and procedures involving the various laboratory techniques with disease correlations are emphasized.
4 credits | Lecture/Lab Medical Microbiology 2 is an advanced course which introduces clinically significant fungi, mycobacterium, parasites, viral agents, and less common bacterial organisms by organ system of the body. This course also covers specimen collection, specimen processing, and automated microbiology systems. Prerequisities: MLT 1424
| Lecture/Lab Urinalysis and Body Fluid Analysis is designed to introduce the student to the importance of urinalysis and body fluids in the medical laboratory. Emphasis is on routine analysis including physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of urine specimens and related tests on other body fluids. Manual and semi- automated laboratory procedures are performed in the student laboratory.
2 credits | Lecture Clinical Chemistry 2 covers detailed theory and representative laboratory analyses of the respiratory system and acid/base balance assessment, hepatic function and its measurements, renal function and its measurements, endocrine function, therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology and basic nutrition. Prerequisities: MLT 1425 P a g e | 90
| Lecture/Lab Blood Bank introduces students to the theory and lab analyses of blood group antigens and antibodies of the ABO, Rh, and other major blood group systems. Introduction to blood banking practice includes anti- human globulin theory, and procedures including antibody detection and identification, compatibility testing, donor selection and testing, component processing and storage as well as hemolytic disease of the newborn, Rh immune globulin workup, and quality control. Prerequisities: MLT 1445
| Lecture MLT Seminar provides students with an opportunity to apply their technical knowledge to laboratory case studies and to review major areas of the MLT curriculum with an emphasis on critical thinking skills. Students will have access to practice examinations in preparation for a comprehensive final. These review exams will cover the areas of: Immunohematology, Hematology, Coagulation, Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, Urinalysis, Immunology, and Laboratory Operations. The examination questions will be developed from course test banks.
| Internship Clinical Practicum is a continuation of the cooperative learning experience provided by the Hibbing campus and affiliated clinical facilities. It consists of supervised application of learned theory and practice and acquisition of new skills in a clinical setting. with a letter grade of "C" or above.
