4.00 Credits
This subject provides a detailed introduction to, and history of, forensic molecular techniques and applications, and covers relevant principles from genetics and biochemistry. This subject includes principles of forensic DNA profiling and repetitive DNA in the human genome; individualization versus identification; how genetic polymorphisms arise and are maintained; continuous versus discrete allele systems; DNA isolation methods; RFLP (Restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis methods; short tandem repeat (STR) markers; PCR-based typing systems; automated systems and DNA databases; applications of mitochondrial DNA analysis; linkage, pedigree analysis, and reverse paternity; introductory applied statistics for forensic laboratories. Three-hour lecture and four-hour laboratory. Pre-requisite of BMS 256 is required.
-
3.00 Credits
The student works at the laboratory bench in clinical chemistry under the direct supervision of a certified clinical laboratory scientist and receives review of routine and specialized procedures. The assessment of results obtained from clinical specimens and their diagnostic significance regarding the patient/client health status is determined. Maintenance and operation of relevant instrumentation in chemistry is also addressed. (This course is eight hours/day, five days/week for six weeks=240 hrs. total practicum time).
-
3.00 Credits
The student works at the laboratory bench in Hematology and Coagulation under the direct supervision of a certified clinical laboratory scientist and receives review of routine and specialized procedures. This course also reviews a routine urinalysis, other body fluid analyses, automated instrumentation in hematology and phlebotomy techniques. (This course is eight hours/day, five days/week for six weeks=240 hrs. total practicum time).
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides the culminating experience for the Forensic Science degree. Students are expected to critically employ evidence collected at a crime scene, analyze the results which may include: document collection, chemistry and toxicological evidence, serology, photography, and microscopy and report their assessment of the findings to determine how the crime was committed. Students will be given pieces of evidence to assemble and describe the possible circumstances that have occurred which led to the crime. A final report of the internship work is required. Internship placements are internal (on-campus) or external at an approved forensic facility. External placements are dependent on availability and with the approval of the Clinical Director. Two hundred hours are expected for this supervised practical internship. Pre-requisite of BMS 71, CHM 39 and BMS 256 are required.
-
3.00 Credits
The student works at the laboratory bench in Immunohematology (Blood Banking) under the direct supervision of a certified clinical laboratory scientist and receives review of blood banking techniques/ procedures and serologic methods used for clinical diagnosis of principle disorders. This course also reviews routine instrumentation use and its standardization in performing blood banking methods. (This course is eight hours/day, five days/week for six weeks=240 hrs. total practicum time).
-
3.00 Credits
The student works at the laboratory bench in Microbiology under the direct supervision of a certified clinical laboratory scientist and receives review of clinical bacteriology, clinical virology, mycology and parasitology techniques/ procedures used for the clinical specimen isolation, cultivation and identification for diagnosis of disease. Utilization of equipment and instrumentation used in Microbiology is also presented. (This course is eight hours/day, five days/week for six weeks=240 hrs. total practicum time).
-
3.00 Credits
This course reviews the usefulness of computers for home or business. Students learn the current Microsoft Office Programs (Word, Excel, Power Point, and Access) and the utilization of an online course management system (i.e. Blackboard or WebCT). Extensive "hands-on" computer use is involved for the completion of this course.
-
1.00 Credits
This course describes the selection and evaluation of Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) to coordinate and interface departments of Clinical and Anatomical Pathology in the hospital setting. Problems concerning needs analysis, cost, value of the system and communication through computer technology are addressed. The usefulness of computer operations in charting, graphing, database analysis and online Internet services is also presented. Students identify criteria to be considered to evaluate the success of LIS systems, quality management and their competency. Prerequisite of BMS 40 or CLA 6 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to safety principles, quality control and laboratory math and the analysis, quantitation, physiologic and pathologic assessment of the serum and urine specimen. Emphasis is based on the clinical correlations and analytical procedures commonly performed on serum to determine the quantity of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, and non-protein nitrogen substances and to assess cardiac, liver, renal, pancreatic and gastrointestinal function. Analysis of the physical, chemical and microscopic examination of urine (urinalysis) is also presented along with the disease processes that hinder kidney function. Prerequisite of CHM 21 or 25 is required.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of drugs or poisons and their effect to correct abnormal body function is presented. Emphasis is placed on the use of drugs to therapeutically treat disease and the consequence or expectation of body changes possible with their continued use. The Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacology and Pharmodynamics of drugs, in common use to treat disorders, is also discussed. Prerequisite of CHM 22 or 71 is required.
