14 courses with the subject MDL, 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.
MDL 100Introduction to Medical Laboratory Technology2
Introduces the basic principles, techniques, and vocabulary applicable to all phases of medical laboratory technology, including design of the health care system, ethics, terminology, and calculations.
Introduces basic medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, components of health care delivery and clinical laboratory structure. Teaches techniques of specimen collection, specimen handling, and patient interactions.
Focuses on obtaining blood samples, processing specimens, managing assignments, assisting with and/or performing specified tests, performing clerical duties and maintaining professional communication. Provides supervised learning in college laboratory/and or cooperating agencies. Students will spend 2 weeks (36-40 hours/week) with an assigned clinical affiliate. The remainder of the course will include on-campus and on-line instruction.
