Note: Medical Laboratory Technology courses may be taken by
laboratory personnel who desire a review or have a professional
interest in a particular course with the permission of the MLT
Program Coordinator.
ML
101 Clinical Hematology (F)
5 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to the medical laboratory technology
career program.
A Laboratory Course: 4 hours in the classroom and 2 hours in the
lab each week.
Beginning with an overview of medical and allied health
organizations, careers, and philosophy, this course teaches
students to perform complete blood counts, phlebotomy, hematology
and coagulation procedures, and to interpret results of these
tests as they relate to anemia, leukemia, or hemostatic disorders
in the human body.
ML
102 Clinical Chemistry (S)
5 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: ML 101 with a grade of "C" or better.
Co-requisite: ML 103.
A Laboratory Course: 4 hours lecture and 2 hours in the lab each
week.
This course emphasizes testing of body fluids, beginning with a
discussion of the techniques of quantitative analysis as applied
in the medical laboratory. Water, minerals, electrolytes,
acid-base balance and gases in body fluids will be studied, as
well as non-protein nitrogen, total protein, globulins,
immunoglobulins, and enzymes in abnormal and normal states.
Carbohydrates, fats, lipids, hormones of the endocrine system and
toxicology are also included. Methods of analysis, laboratory
instrumentation, laboratory mathematics and various organ systems
will be discussed.
ML
103 Immunohematology and Serology (S)
5 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: ML 101 with a grade of "C" or better.
Co-requisite: ML 102.
A Laboratory Course: 4 hours lecture and 2 hours in the lab each
week.
This course begins with an overview of immunology and genetics,
and teaches the student the technical and theoretical skills
necessary for performing blood banking operations, including
information related to blood group antigens and antibodies. An
introduction to the field of serology is included.
ML
200 Phlebotomy Practicum (SU)
1 Semester Hour
Prerequisite: ML 102 and ML 103 with a grade of "C" or better.
A Laboratory Course: 40 hours in the hospital lab each week for a
2 week period during the summer session.
MLT students work along side laboratory phlebotomists in hospital
laboratories, learning the daily routine, technical procedures and
use of equipment related to phlebotomy. Under supervision,
students perform daily tasks in venipuncture, capillary sticks and
other phlebotomy procedures.
ML
201 Urinalysis and Body Fluids (F)
1 Semester Hour
Prerequisite: ML 200 with a grade of "C" or better.
Co-requisite: ML 202.
A Laboratory Course: 1 hour lecture each week.
This course concentrates on the theoretical and procedural aspects
concerning the analysis of nonblood body fluids, such as urine,
gastric fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, feces and various other body
fluids. Laboratory findings related to these fluids are correlated
to disease states as well.
ML
202 Clinical Microbiology (F)
5 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: ML 200 with a grade of "C" or better.
Co-requisite: ML 201.
A Laboratory Course: 4 hours lecture and 2 hours in the lab each
week.
This is a course in theoretical and practical medical
microbiology. The student learns to obtain specimens for
bacterial, fungal, and viral cultures, to isolate in pure culture,
to identify various pathogenic and commensual organisms, and to
identify human parasites of the blood, tissue, and intestinal
tract. Various pathogenic organisms are correlated to disease
states as well.
ML
205 MLT Seminar (S)
2 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: ML 201 and ML 202 with a grade of "C" or better.
Co-requisite: ML 210.
A Laboratory Course: 2 hours lecture each week.
This capstone course is an individual and directed review of MLT
program courses in preparation to taking MLT/CLT certification
examinations. This course may have guest speakers and include
discussions on current, special, and work-related topics.
Additionally, there will be a review of the process related to
procuring a job in the field of Medical Laboratory Technology as
well as role transition from student to professional.
ML
210 MLT Clinical Practicum (S)
12 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: ML 201 and 202 with a grade of "C" or better.
Co-requisite: ML 205.
A Laboratory Course: 32 hours in the hospital lab each week.
MLT students work along with laboratory personnel in hospital
laboratories, learning daily routines, technical procedures and
proper use of various types of laboratory equipment. Under
supervision, students perform daily tasks in chemistry,
hematology, coagulation, urinalysis, blood bank, serology and
microbiology departments of the laboratory. Students will be in
clinical rotations for a 16-week period consisting of four 8-hour
days each week.
ML
275 Special Topics in Medical Laboratory Technology
(O)
1-3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: Permission of the AVP/Dean of Allied Health.
Presents courses in Medical Laboratory Technology which the
College expects to offer only once or occasionally in response to
specific community needs. The course may consist of seminars,
specialized or individual instruction, and/or research in an area
related to medical laboratory technology.
