3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the methodologies, instrumentation and OSHA regulations within a clinical hematology lab. Collection and preservation of blood specimens, description of all formed cellular elements, analysis of blood smears and classification of hematological disorders, such as the anemias and leukemias are discussed. The clinical significance of sedimentation rates and reticulocyte counts and proper phlebotomy techniques and theory are also identified. Safety regulations for blood collection, universal precautions and patient preparation ethics, confidentiality and patient rights are addressed. Practice and competency in phlebotomy is required for course completion. Prerequisite of BIO 8 is required.

3.00 Credits
The course includes an overview of forensic science laboratory techniques. The subject introduces the student to information collected and chain of custody followed at the crime scene; photography; physical evidence and its properties (trace evidence, fingerprints; firearms; fibers; paint; documents examination). This subject includes principles of microscopy; serology (blood identification procedures); origin determination; semen identification procedures; other biological substances of interest; hair comparison; drugs and toxicology; casework interpretation; quality control, proficiency testing and accreditation; and recent criminal cases. Lectures, demonstrations and basic laboratory exercises are used to present the subject matter. Two-hour lecture and three-hour laboratory.

3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to Immunology and Immunochemistry. The structures, reaction and biological effects among antigens, antibodies and complement in the body (in vivo) and in vitro are discussed. Cells of the immune and inflammatory responses, their structure, functions and interrelationships in normal individuals and in disease states are also presented. Prerequisite of BIO 8 or BIO 104 is required.

3.00 Credits
This lecture and laboratory course in clinical immunology will provide the students with a basic knowledge on the principles of immunology and clinical immunology. The course will focus on the application of these principles in diagnostic tests in immune-mediated diseases and in infectious disease testing using clinical laboratory diagnostic assays and serologic techniques. An understanding of the laboratory methods is essential. An emphasis on analyzing certification-style questions is required to satisfy, in part, the writing-across-the-curriculum (WAC) requirements. It is designed to improve the student's professional writing capacity and to improve critical, analytical and problem solving skills. The writing assignments include lab manual write-ups and take home case history reports. These writing assignments will be evaluated for the organization, clarity, grammar and spelling of the contents. Students will be required to present and discuss the answers to questions in class. Prerequisite of BMS 80 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is required for all medical biology majors and health related majors including those students seeking graduate study in the biological sciences and those seeking admission into professional schools. The course introduces the principles of clinical microbiology and characteristics of microorganisms, host-parasite relationships, resistance, immunity, hypersensitivity, public health, epidemiology as well as applied, medical and industrial microbiology; includes clinical diagnostic methods such as culture, control, identification, sterilization, microbiological techniques and concepts; emphasizes those techniques specifically employed in the clinical microbiological laboratory.
-
1.00 Credits
Viral structure, mode of infection of human cells, replication and classification are discussed. The DNA and RNA viruses associated with human diseases as well as the resultant clinical syndromes; diagnostic procedures used to collect and detect viral antigens in clinical specimens; viral serology; viral culture and storage are also presented. Co-requisite of BMS 80 is required.
