2.00 Credits
Introduction to the basic principles and procedures of clinical chemistry. Lecture and lab devoted to chemical analysis of blood and other body fluids. Lab safety, specimen collection/handling/storage; lab mathematics, basic lab instrumentation and automation, data management, reference range determination and quality control monitoring will be stressed throughout the course. This class will discuss the pathophysiology and diagnostic testing related to the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids, assessments of diabetes and diabetic risk, assessments of cardiac risk and monitoring and prognosis following myocardial infarction. Methodologies discussed include spectrophotometry, immunodiagnostics and computer generated analyses. Students will participate in class discussions about recent research in clinical chemistry which will be presented in the forms of abstracts, research papers and figures. Material and Supply fee will be assessed for corresponding lab. Equipment Fee will be assessed. Permission is required.

2.00 Credits
This course continues where Clinical Chem I left off, discussing kidney function, electrolytes, blood gases, acid-base balance, mineral metabolism, enzyme measurement, liver function studies, and pancreatic function assessment. It also includes the more esoteric tests involved in testing endocrine function, therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, tumor markers, and testing during pregnancy. Methodology is primarily immunoassay, potentiometry and spectrophotometry. Reading and disseminating research in the discipline is emphasized in the format of a journal club. Material and Supply fee will be assessed for corresponding lab. Equipment Fee will be assessed. Permission is required.

3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of clinical laboratory management, research and educational methodologies are covered. Students are introduced to clinical laboratory operations including financial and human resource management, marketing of laboratory services, communication with other health care professionals, laboratory information systems, research design and compliance with regulatory agencies. The student will provide evidence of adequate training or work experience in Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Blood Bank equivalent to an MLS clinical internship and produce this in a professionally developed portfolio. The student will produce a professionally written case study that is suitable for publication.
