13 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 1002Orientation to Clinical Laboratory Science2
This course provides the student with principles and techniques of specimen collection by venipuncture and dermal puncture. Other topics include: anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system, safety and handling procedures, healthcare delivery system and laboratory departments and testing, specialized phlebotomy procedures such as therapeutic collections, difficult draws, blood cultures, glucose tolerance testing, arterial blood gas collection, phlebotomy equipment and supplies, communication skills and professionalism. Also included in this course are in depth discussions of HIPAA, medical and legal issues and healthcare law procedures. The student will also learn to perform certain waived tests such glucose screening, urinalysis dipsticks and pregnancy tests. Lecture 2 hours per week.
This course covers theory and application, including principles, testing, and pathological states in urinalysis and body fluid analysis, as well as the proper care, operation, and use of a microscope and equipment used in testing urine and body fluids. Acceptance into the MLT program or approval of the program director. Lecture 2 hours per week and Laboratory 2 hours per week.
This course provides a cumulative review of the medical laboratory technology theory and professional development skills. The course will cover resume writing, interview skills, and opportunities for continuing education and comprehensive review for preparation for the certification examination. Case studies will also be included with correlation to laboratory results. Students will take a mock registry examination. Acceptance into MLT program or approval of program director. Lecture 2 hours per week.
This course includes a survey of basic immunology principles to provide the student with a general background in immunology. Emphasis will be placed on certain concepts and major aspects of the immune response (and more detailed discussions will be held later in immunohematology). The specific and nonspecific immune responses as well as humoral and cellular immunity will be covered. An overview of autoimmunity, immunodeficiency and other immune diseases will be covered. Upon completion of this course, the student will understand the role immunology plays in the treatment of patients.
Acceptance into the MLT Program or instructor approval. Lecture 2 hours per week.
MLT 2214Clinical Hematology4
This course includes principles, testing, and pathological states in hematology. Emphasis is placed on the most common procedures utilized in a hematology and coagulation department and a basic understanding of hematopoiesis and coagulation. Upon completion of the course, the student will understand the clinical role hematology and coagulation plays in the treatment of patients.
Grade of “C” or better in all previous MLT courses or approval of instructor. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 2 hours per week
MLT 2223Clinical Hematology and Body Fluid Practicum3
This course provides supervised experience in a clinical laboratory designed to develop entry- level skills and technical abilities in hematology and coagulation. Clinical hours: 120. Pre/Co-requisites MLT 2214 and MLT 1203 .
This course includes principles, testing, and pathological states in chemistry and toxicology. It emphasizes the most common procedures utilized in a chemistry department and a basic understanding of how increases and decreases of various chemicals interact within the body. Upon completion of the course, the student will understand the clinical role chemistry plays in the treatment of patients. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 1 hours per week

MLT 2272Clinical Microbiology I2
This course covers principles and procedures in clinical microbiology, including theories, culturing and staining techniques, biochemical reactions, specimen collection, identification of normal flora in various body sites, and antibiotic sensitivities. The course will also cover basic terminology and concepts related to microbiology, taxonomy, bacterial cell morphology and shapes, cell structure, safety, parasitology, virology, and mycology. Laboratory 1 hour per week.
Grade of “C” or better in all previous MLT courses or instructor’s approval.
MLT 2274Clinical Microbiology II4
This course will be a continuation of Clinical Microbiology I with emphasis on culturing and staining techniques and isolation and identification of common pathogens encountered in clinical settings as well as identification of normal flora found in various parts of the body. This course will cover an overview of anaerobes, Mycobacterium, Spirochetes, plus additional organisms. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 2 hours per week. Pre/Co-requisites MLT 2272
