Course Description
This course is designed to prepare the student for Clinical Practicum I and II. Included are introductions to the following topics: lab safety, lab instrumentation, and laboratory mathematics. Theoretical and practical laboratory applications of principles and techniques in phlebotomy, normal to abnormal hematology, and coagulation are covered in depth.
Prerequisite(s)
Admission to the Medical Laboratory Technology program and CHEM 1614 or consent of instructor. - Must be completed prior to taking this course.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Perform with accuracy the analytical tests required in this course, using quality control procedures.
  • Recognize limitations, sources of error, and interfering substances for the analytical tests and take corrective action when possible.
  • Be able to relate/correlate information to disease or non-disease processes in hematology and coagulation.
  • Describe normal and abnormal red cell, white cell, and platelet morphology.
  • Apply technology by operating computers/instruments, maintaining, equipment, and troubleshooting when necessary.
