Cellular & Molecular Laboratory
-
1.00 Credits
An orientation to clinical laboratory science including professional responsibilities, basic clinical laboratory techniques, safety, general principles of quality assurance, medical terminology and phlebotomy.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on CLS professional's leadership roles in practice. Leadership theories and models of planned change and decision making are used to develop plans for solving problems in the healthcare setting. Management roles and functions are addressed.

2.00 Credits
This class is designed to give CLS students working knowledge and transferable skills in techniques used in molecular diagnostics, including specimen collection and preparation, nucleic acid purification, various electrophoresis formats, nucleic acid amplification techniques, hybridizations, and quality assurance.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the analysis of urine; cerebrospinal, serous, synovial, seminal and amniotic fluids; sweat; gastric and fecal specimens. Renal function, normal and abnormal urine constitutents, fluid cell counts, specimen collection and preservation will be stressed.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of medically important bacteria, mycobacteria, and obligate intracellular organisms. Microbial physiology, genetics, metabolism, and principles of host-parasite relationships are discussed. Media selection and cultivation, sterilization, disinfection, staining, microscopy, and safety are included. Microbial disease detection and identification by body site are stressed, with special emphasis on residential flora, selection pressure, and the immunocompromised patient. Biochemical and molecular identification methods and methods of antibiotic sensitivity testing are evaluated and compared. (Corequisites: 461) Spring only.
-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory instruction in the collection of specimens, microscopic preparation and examination, cultivation of bacteria, identification techniques and antimicrobial safety measures, quality control procedures, and professional conduct. (Corequisite: CLS. 460.) Spring only.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of classification, identification, and pathophysiology of diseases caused by medically important non-bacterial microorganisms, including fungi (dermatophytes, subcutaneous organisms and systemic mycoses as well as opportunistic organisms), parasites (protozoa, filaria, helminthes, and arthropods), and viruses. The laboratory portion of the course will cover specimen collection and processing, culture (where appropriate) and identification of organisms. Spring only.
