11 courses with the subject MLS, 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.
This course provides an overview of basic and advanced techniques in urinalysis and body fluid analysis. An emphasis is placed on the correlation between laboratory results and patient health status. A focus on quality assurance and quality control processes is also included. Laboratory exercises are incorporated into this course.
Topics examined include principles and practices of bacteriology and mycobacteriology. Principles of host defense and microbial virulence will be explored as well as clinical presentation, signs and symptoms, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment options. Infection control procedures, epidemiology, new and emerging infections and other Public Health issues are examined. Laboratory exercises designed to support the lecture content will be incorporated.
This course provides an overview of daily operations in a medical laboratory. Topics include organizational hierarchy, leadership styles, staffing and budgeting concerns, employee competency and performance improvement, hiring and training new employees, writing and implementing new procedures, and cost analysis and validation studies for new procedures or equipment. Education techniques and terminology, team building strategies, compliance to safety and regulatory issues, research design, dynamics of healthcare delivery systems, career development, ethics, and professionalism are also examined.
This course provides an in-depth examination of normal and abnormal hematology results. Emphasis is placed on correlation of abnormal test results and disease states. Bone marrow analysis will also be expanded upon. Currently used hematology analyzers will be dissected and their theory and applications examined. Laboratory activities will be incorporated to supplement the lecture concepts.
This course provides an overview of basic and advanced concepts related to immunology. Structure, function, and development of the components of the immune system will be discussed. Autoimmune disorders, inherited and acquired states of immunodeficiency, tumor and transplant immunology, and infectious diseases will be explored. An emphasis is placed on the correlation between laboratory results and patient health status.
This course examines experimental methods used in molecular biology, with a particular focus on diagnostic techniques commonly used in hospital labs. Basic genetic concepts are reviewed and emerging technologies are discussed. Quality assurance and quality control as well as adherence to laboratory safety practices are emphasized during wet lab experiences.
This course provides an in-depth study of concepts related to clinical chemistry including method evaluation, quality management, and analytical techniques. Topics covered include proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids, electrolytes, blood gases, porphyrins, toxicology, and tumor markers. Evaluation of organ/system function is also included as are special considerations for neonatal and elderly populations.
Topics examined include principles and practices of mycology and parasitology. A brief overview of virology will be included as well. Principles of host defense and microbial virulence will be explored as well as clinical presentation, signs and symptoms, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment options. Infection control procedures, epidemiology, new and emerging infections and other Public Health issues are examined. Laboratory exercises designed to support the lecture content will be incorporated.
This course provides an in-depth examination of normal and abnormal coagulation results. Emphasis is placed on correlation of abnormal test results and disease states. Currently used coagulation analyzers will be dissected and their theory and applications examined. Laboratory activities will be incorporated to supplement the lecture concepts.
This course includes an in-depth exploration of common and significant blood group systems. Also included are donor selection, blood collection and processing, clinical considerations for transfusion therapy, and adverse effects of transfusion. Basic and advanced laboratory techniques are discussed and performed in supplemental laboratory sessions. A focus on quality assurance, quality control, and problem solving is also included.
Clinical training is the culmination of all didactic instruction, simulations and learning materials needed to become a medical technologist. The Clinical Training course provides the student with the opportunity to experience and assist with general laboratory procedures. Students must demonstrate competency with these procedures and be able to perform with minimal supervision.
