Advanced clinical practice in a hospital or reference chemistry laboratory used to apply and build on the knowledge and skills by using more complex analytical procedures and cutting-edge instrumentation, practicing good quality assurance for accuracy of testing and providing competent interpretation of clinical data. MLS Director approval required to register for this course.
Advanced clinical practice in a hospital hematology laboratory used to apply and build on the knowledge and skills by using both simple and complex analytical procedures to perform hematology and coagulation testing on automated hematology instruments and manual methods. Slide interpretation, quality control, precision and accuracy of testing and providing competent interpretation of clinical data is imperative. MLS Director approval required to register for this course.
This course will introduce the basic principles and procedures of clinical chemistry. Emphasis will be placed on the physiology and pathophysiology of proteins and enzymes, lipids, carbohydrates, liver kidney functions and blood gases. Diagnostic testing related to clinical chemistry testing, principles, analysis, interpretation and significance will also be discussed.
