8.00 Credits
Introduces students to the study of cytology of all the non-gyn body systems, such as respiratory, urinary, hematopoietic, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, and others. Covered are anatomy, physiology, embryology, pathology, and histology of all the organs in each of the body systems. The cytology of all these sites is taught, and many types of specimens are covered, such as body fluids, brushings, scraping, washings, and fine needle aspirations. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med Tech Clinical Lab Experience
-
3.00 Credits
Requires students to present the cythology of a portion of the gastrointestinal tract and a cytology topic of their choice. This course also includes attending Laboratory in-service seminars, Cancer Conferences, and a regional cytology workshop. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med Tech Clinical Lab Experience
-
8.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the physiology of the organ system of the body and the various analytes that interact with them. Discusses abnormal physiology and relates to various disease states. Discusses the principles of test methodology. The student applies this theory to the clinical lab using current diagnostic techniques and instrumentation to correlate lab results to disease processes. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med Tech Clinical Lab Experience
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the basic structure and function of DNA. Discusses the impact of molecular genetics in medicine and specific methods for analysis.

Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med. Tech. Clinical Lab Experience
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the immune system and the immune response. Discusses immune detection, immunodeficiency disorders, autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivity, and tumor and transplant immunology. Discusses the antigen-antibody complex and the relationship to current testing methodology. The student applies this theory in the clinical lab using current immunologic techniques and instrumentation to correlate lab results to disease processes. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med. Tech. Clinical Lab Experience
-
8.00 Credits
Introduces students to the study of the hematopoietic system including the relationship of hematologic diseases to diagnostic characteristics. Discusses erythrocyte and leukocyte disorders; cellular morphology, mechanisms and disorders of hemostasis and fibrinolysis; and principles of test methodology. The student applies this theory in the clinical lab using current diagnostic techniques and instrumentation to correlate lab results to disease processes. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med. Tech. Clinical Lab Experience.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the study of body fluids including urine,cerebral spinal fluid, synovial fluid, serous fluids, seminal fluid, and miscellaneous other fluids. Discusses specimen collection and analysis. The student applies this theory in the clinical lab using current diagnostic techniques and instrumentation to correlate lab results with disease processes. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med. Tech. Clinical Lab Experience
-
8.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the study of bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections in humans. Discusses transmission, clinical symptoms, specimen collection, and laboratory methods used to identify suspect organisms. Discusses prevention as well as antibiotic therapy. The student applies this theory in the clinical lab to isolate and identify pathogens, to provide antibiotic sensitivity information, and to correlate culture results with disease states. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med. Tech. Clinical Lab Experience.
-
5.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the different human blood goups, blood components, the antibody screening and identification process, transfusion protocols, blood donor screening, and state and federal regulations. The student applies this theory in the clinical lab to process blood and its components, determine blood product compatibility, apply appropriate quality control, and correlate patient results to blood disorders. Prereq: Department approval, requires acceptance and enrollment in MCLA-BMC Med. Tech. Clinical Lab Experience.
