4.00 Credits
The course focuses on a consideration of the diversity of organisms on Earth, including ecology, evolution, systematics and the major groups of living things. Relevance of these topics to issues of general human concern will be explored through readings and discussion. These issues include human evolution, sociobiology, scientific creationism, and such environmental problems as the extinction of species and the decimation of tropical ecosystems. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite of Honors Program is required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the structure and function of the human body, including basic biochemistry, cell structure, cell division, cell respiration, tissue composition, genetics, and the nervous and endocrine systems. Laboratory focuses on relevant physiological experiments and histology. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the body's organ systems in detail, including the musculo-skeletal, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, excretory, digestive, and reproductive systems. Relevant dissection, histological studies, and physiology are all featured in the laboratories. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Pre-requisite BIO 7 is required.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the special ways of approaching and utilizing texts characteristic of the experimental sciences. Students will learn to critically interpret readings, quantitative data including graphical and statistical charts and tables as well as learning to present material in a variety of documentation styles used in the sciences. Through an emergent understanding of the unifying concepts underlying the scientific approach, students will actively pursue communication of the conceptual systems involved and the pedagogical integration of these into their boarder approaches to science and its meaningful communication. This course provides and overview of how knowledge is acquired and presented in the laboratory sciences. Same as CHM 86 and ERS 85.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an advanced laboratory study of primate morphology with heavy emphasis on human morphology. The detailed structure of all human organs and organ systems is thoroughly covered. A representative primate specimen is dissected. Not available for Biology elective credit. Two hours lecture, two hours laboratory. Pre-requisite of not having taken (BIO 16 or BIO 118) and BIO 7 and BIO 8 or BIO 261 is required.
-
2.00 Credits
This Management, Supervision and Teaching seminar identifies the five components of Management in Laboratory Medicine: duties and responsibilities including problem solving-decisionmaking processes; concepts of managerial leadership: communication skills; process of personnel administration: evaluation of employee performance; effective laboratory operations and principles of laboratory finance: cost containment. Additionally, information about teaching, professionalism, supervision, regulatory agency requirements, laboratory information systems, and the importance of continuing medical education are discussed. Case study assignments reflect typical laboratory problems encountered. Teaching principles include writing of objectives: Educational Methodology. This course is typically taught off campus at a hospital affiliate.
-
4.00 Credits
This Clinical Chemistry Course is a sequel to BMS 50. It presents topics addressing endocrinology, electrolyte and acid/base balance, porphyrins, vitamins and nutrition status, therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology and identification of tumor markers. The clinical correlations, analytical methods commonly performed on serum or urine are discussed with an emphasis on evaluating the patient's health care status. The principles of operating instrumentation used in clinical chemistry laboratories including point of care testing devices are also presented. Prerequisite of BMS 50 is required.
-
3.00 Credits
The formed elements of the peripheral blood, their precursors, function and structure including basic methodologies for quantitation of cells and cellular components are discussed. Normal and abnormal cellular morphologies, their clinical relevance in both the quantitative and qualitative assessment of disease in blood is also emphasized. Other body fluids are also addressed: cerebrospinal, synovial, pericardial, peritoneal, pleural, amniotic fluids and seminal fluid in terms of normal and abnormal findings, methods of collection and assessment. Prerequisite of BMS 63 is required.
-
2.00 Credits
The mechanism of Blood Coagulation/Hemostasis is discussed including evaluation of bleeding disorders and thrombosis. Case studies identify the diagnostic evaluation of normal and disease states. Prerequisite of BMS 63 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
Theoretical aspects of immunohematology (blood banking) with emphasis on laboratory techniques used in blood banking are presented. Students completing this course perform techniques in actual use in the characterization of blood in hospital blood banks. Prerequisite of BMS 87 is required.
