4.00 Credits
This course covers the principles of normal and abnormal urinary and body cavity fluid cytopathology. Didactic and microscopic instruction focuses on basic anatomy, embryology, histology, physiology, pathology and diagnostic cytopathology of normal, benign, infectious, inflammatory, and malignant pathologic processes in various cytologic specimens. Emphasis is on microscopic diagnostic features that distinguish benign from malignant cytopathologic changes. Cytologic interpretation is correlated with tissue biopsy whenever possible.
-
2.00 Credits
This course covers the principles of normal and abnormal pulmonary cytopathology. Didactic and microscopic instruction focuses on basic anatomy, embryology, histology, physiology, pathology and diagnostic cytopathology of the normal, benign, infectious, inflammatory, and malignant pathologic processes of the upper and lower respiratory system. Emphasis is on microscopic diagnostic features that distinguish benign from malignant cytopathologic changes.
-
1.00 Credits
This course covers the principles of normal and abnormal gastrointestinal cytopathology. Didactic and microscopic instruction focuses on basic anatomy, embryology, histology, physiology, pathology and diagnostic cytopathology of normal, benign, infectious, inflammatory, and malignant pathologic processes of the gastrointestinal system in various cytologic specimens. Emphasis is on microscopic diagnostic features that distinguish benign cytopathologic from malignant changes. Cytologic interpretation is correlated with tissue biopsy whenever possible.
-
2.00 Credits
This course covers the anatomy, histology, pathology, and cytopathology of the following nongynecologic sites: breast, lung, bone, thyroid, salivary gland, lymph node, liver and pancreas. The course focuses on cytomorphology of fine needle aspiration specimens obtained from superficial and deep lesions of the body. Pertinent clinical data, cytomorphology, and appropriate clinical management of patients affected with neoplastic lesions from these body sites are correlated. Cytologic interpretation is correlated with tissue biopsy whenever possible.
-
1.00 Credits
This basic course in Laboratory Management includes approaches to management, laboratory operations and ethics. The concepts of quality control, quality assurance, laboratory safety, and continuing education as they apply to cytology are presented. Important issues affecting the practice of cytotechnology such as federal and state regulations are presented.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide senior CLS students with the appropriate experiences in answering ASCP and NCA certification examination questions and in case study analysis. Review questions in the major categories of hematology, chemistry, immunology, immunohematology (blood bank), and microbiology are addressed. The review sessions are team-taught by program faculty. The seminar culminates in a mock exam which contributes to the determination of the final grade for the course. This course extends into the summer session.
-
4.00 Credits
This course serves as the culminating experience for students in the Biomedical Technology degree program. Students select a mentor to pursue a hands-on laboratory research project which investigates a Biomedical problem or question. They are then expected to analyze the data obtained and submit to the department and the mentor a written copy of the research project in a format consistent with that of a scientific publication/thesis. Department consent is required to register for this course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course addresses computational techniques used to study three-dimensional structures and orientation of macromolecules within biological systems. The subject enables students to work on a research life science problems and develop applications employed computerized biological images. Both areas of interest rely on proficiency in the use of the World Wide Web data. Training in bioinformatics is a prerequisite to the comprehension of information regarding the function of genes, proteins, and numerous cellular components. Comprehension about bioinformatics enhances the qualification of graduates in biomedical sciences by allowing them to meld computer skills with current information about the special relationships of biomolecules in living systems. Prerequisite of BMS 40 and BMS 49 and Co requisite of MTH 19 or BIO 141 are required.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the basic principles of toxicology, the study of adverse effects of natural compounds or artificial chemicals on living organisms. Specific areas covered will include: the history of toxicology, general principles, chemical carcinogenesis, specific organ toxicology and ways to determine the risk to humans associated with toxic compounds. Students will apply toxicological concept to current and historical events such as mass poisonings from natural or environmental disasters and individual forensic cases. Prerequisite of CHM 22 or 71 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
Molecular diagnostics is the application of methods in biotechnology to assist in the diagnosis of disease at the cellular level. Biotechnology involves techniques used in molecular biology that are applied to the study of abnormal cells. Techniques used in biotechnology are: cell culture, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunohistochemistry, cloning and genetic probes. Formal lectures are followed by experiments in a laboratory equipped to perform some of the aforementioned techniques. Additionally, the use of the internet will be demonstrated as a means of accessing databases. Pre-requisite of BMS 80 is required.
