Introduction to Medical Laboratory Techniques and Instrumentation This course focuses on basic clinical laboratory procedures and behavior common to all clinical laboratories including but not limited to: laboratory safety, good laboratory practices, regulatory agencies and laboratory organization, microscopy, centrifugation, pipetting, reagent preparation, quality control, basic laboratory instrumentation and procedures, laboratory calculations (math), professional behavior and expectations, and effective communication in the clinical environment. (Prerequisites. Admission to the MLT program or consent of the instructor or program director.) (1 hrs lec/2 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
Subject: MLTN
Course Number: 1422
Medical Microbiology This course focuses on isolation and identification of clinically significant bacterial pathogens through the study of their morphology and growth characteristics. Manual as well as automated techniques for identification and susceptibility testing are practiced. New methodologies in medical microbiology are introduced. Heavy emphasis is placed on correlation of specimen source, and clinical signs and symptoms of disease, with pathogen identification, and antibiotic susceptibility as related to virulence factors and acquired resistance genes. Students are trained in safety and quality assurance standards required in the medical microbiology laboratory. (Prerequisites: Admission to the MLT program and successful completion of MLTN1400, MLTN1410, MLTN1424 or consent of instructor or program director.) (2 hrs lec/4 hrs lab/0 OJT)
Subject: MLTN
Course Number: 1430
Molecular Diagnostics This course will introduce the MLT student to molecular diagnostics int he clinical laboratory. Emphasis will include: the biochemistry of nucleic acids, introduction to genetics, history of molecular diagnostics in the clinical laboratory, specimen collection and processing for molecular diagnostics, introduction to molecular methodologies used int he clinical laboratory for detection of infectious microorganisms and mutations in inherited diseases, and malignancy and quality control in molecular diagnostics. The role of molecular diagnostics in evidence based medicine will also be covered. (Prerequisite: Good standing in the MLT program and concurrent enrollment in MLTN1428 or consent of instructor or program director) (1 hr lec/0 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
