3.00 Credits
This course is designed to give students an introduction to the field of medical technology. The focus will be on these disciplines: Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Immunology, Immunohematology, Clinical Microbiology and Urinalysis. Students will be introduced to basic laboratory techniques in each of the areas and be able to apply knowledge learned in undergraduate science courses in the MT student clinical laboratory. (Formerly MT 301) Prerequisites: BIOL 2210, 2211; MATH 1110; CHEM 1010, 1011, 1020, 1021.
-
3.00 Credits
The lecture course and student laboratory will offer the student a brief review of basic chemistry before going into the principles of clinical chemistry. Chemistry problems, automation, and quality control are also included. The lectures include a review of anatomy and physiology of body systems, contents of body fluids and special techniques. (Formerly MT 401) Prerequisite: Admission to clinical (professional) component.
-
3.00 Credits
A rotation in this area of the laboratory will require the student to rotate a minimum time of six weeks. Chemistry consists of routine chemistry, special chemistry and toxicology. Students will work predominately with many different types of automated clinical analyzers in service in clinical laboratories. Students will perform manual procedures as required by the clinical site. A student's experience in clinical chemistry will be dependent on the instrumentation available at a site, however all students will acquire experience with automated analyzers and performance of daily maintenance. Students will gain experience in organizing workloads and performing and monitoring quality control in the chemistry laboratory. Prerequisite: Passing all courses in the didactic program.
-
4.00 Credits
Through lecture presentations by MT faculty, MMC Basic Science Faculty, guest lecturers and the use of other teaching strategies, such as case presentations, small group discussions, Web-enhanced lectures and field trips, the students will review selected topics in Body fluids, Clinical Chemistry, and Microbiology. Prerequisites: MEDT 4010, 4110, 4710.
-
3.00 Credits
The lecture course and student laboratory will offer the student an introduction to the clinical aspects of bacteriology with emphasis on morphology and physiology of bacteria, preparation of culture media, and techniques used for identification, and Kirby-Bauer sensitivity. An introduction to mycology is also presented. (Formerly MT 411) Prerequisite: Admission to clinical (professional) component.
-
3.00 Credits
A rotation in this area of the laboratory will require the student to rotate a minimum time of six weeks. Microbiology will encompass General Bacteriology (aerobic and anaerobic organisms), Mycology, Mycobacteriology, and Parasitology. Students will be responsible for learning the operation of a microbiology laboratory. Students will perform initial inoculations of clinical samples, perform gram stains, learn how to interpret growth characteristics of many different organisms, examine blood cultures, perform ova and parasite studies and perform any test determined by the bench instructor or supervisor. A student's experience in microbiology will be dependent on the instrumentation available at a site, however all students will acquire experience with automated analyzers and performance of daily maintenance. Students will gain experience in organizing workloads and performing and monitoring quality control in the microbiology laboratory. Prerequisite: Passing all courses in the didactic program.
-
3.00 Credits
Through lecture presentations by MT faculty, MMC Basic Science Faculty, guest lecturers and the use of other teaching strategies, such as case presentations, small group discussions, Web-enhanced lectures and field trips, the students will review selected topics in Immunohematology, Hematology, Coagulation, and Immunology. Prerequisites: MEDT 4210, 4510, 4310.
-
3.00 Credits
The lecture and student laboratory will introduce the student to the basic principles of blood banking with emphasis on importance of accuracy in laboratory testing. Procedures performed include blood grouping, compatibility testing, and identification of antibodies. Preparation of components and component therapy, adverse transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the newborn are presented in the course. (Formerly MT 421) Prerequisite: Admission to clinical (professional) component.
-
3.00 Credits
A rotation in this area of the laboratory will require the student to rotate a minimum time of 4 weeks in Immunohematology, and two weeks in Immunology/Serology. Immunohematology procedures will include ABO and Rh blood grouping, antibody screening and identification, compatibility testing, preparation of components, maintaining inventory of blood products, and quality control of reagents. Immunology/Serology procedures include RPRs, RA, ANAs, Infectious Mono testing, Hepatitis, and HIV testing. Student's experience in Immunology/Serology will be dependent on the instrumentation available at a site, however all students will acquire experience with automated analyzers and performance of daily maintenance. Students will gain experience in organizing workloads and performing and monitoring quality control in the Immunohematology and Immunology/Serology laboratories. Prerequisite: Passing all courses in the didactic program.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide the student an introduction to the principles of education and laboratory management. The students will prepare a lesson plan and teach a unit of instruction in the MT Program. Guest lecturers will provide some of the experiences for students. Prerequisites: MEDT 4100, 4200.
