12 courses with the subject MLAB, 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.
MLAB 1301*Introduction to Medical Laboratory Technology3
An introduction to the clinical laboratory sciences, which includes care and use of equipment, laboratory safety, basic laboratory math, medical terminology, principles of phlebotomy, quality control, preparation of chemical solutions, and an orientation to the major testing areas in the medical laboratory. (This course was previously MLT 100)
Includes laboratory performances by students during progressive rotations through the affiliated clinical laboratory sites in the departments of Hematology, Coagulation, Urinalysis, Immunohematology, Serology, Microbiology, Clinical Chemistry and Phlebotomy. (This course was previously MLT 205C) Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall

Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Spring
The student will be given the opportunity to develop a broader application of the clinical laboratory scientist’s role as a health professional in a variety of learning experiences, including seminars, lectures, practice quizzes and discussions in the seven knowledge areas (hematology, blood bank, clinical chemistry, microbiology, laboratory operations, immunology, and urinalysis/body fluids). It is also a seminar course designed to give students experience in researching and resenting case studies with emphasis on correlation of laboratory results. Included in this course are review and practice examinations as well as a comprehensive battery of examinations encompassing seven knowledge areas to prepare students for certification examinations. (This course was previously MLT 200) Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall
Formal admission to the Medical Laboratory Technician Program.
MLAB 2201*Clinical Immunology2
Basic principles of the immune system structure and function in health and disease. Topics include principles of a natural and acquired immunity, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, transplant and tumor immunology, immunological techniques and flow cytometry. (This course was previously MLT 114) Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall
Formal admission to the Medical Laboratory Technician Program.
Corequisite
MLAB 2201L
MLAB 2202*Urinalysis and Body Fluids2
This course examines the urinary system as related to the routine urinalysis. The component parts of the urinalysis, to include the physical, chemical and microscopic examination, are preformed. The course also includes the examination of common types of body fluid. (This course was previously MLT 111) Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall

Corequisite
MLAB 2301L
MLAB 2401*Clinical Chemistry4
An overview of clinical chemistry theory, principles, procedures, and correlations. Tests for glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, proteins, bilirubin, enzymes and electrolytes are included. Colorimetric and photometric techniques used in examining normal and abnormal clinical specimens are introduced along with special procedures such as immunoassays and electrophoresis. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Summer
This course integrates the theory of hematology with application through assessment of laboratory test results. Laboratory test results are correlated with disease. Areas of study include formation of blood, composition of blood, morphology of blood cells and changes observed in blood cells in response to disease. An overview of coagulation theory is provided. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Summer
This course examines the study of microorganisms of medical importance as it relates to man and disease. The course includes discussions of proper collection, handling and examination of specimens, staining and culture techniques, identification methods, drug sensitivity testing, and quality control procedures.
