tion of specimens (Phlebotomist), but will also be competent in
performing simple or waived tests (CLIA’s reg.) done in hospital
labs, clinics, physicians’ offices, and ambulatory care settings.
MEDT 1114 - Urinalysis & Body Fluids 3/3 (4)
Prerequisites: Admission to the Medical Laboratory Technology
program, or consent of instructor. This course and all
MEDT courses are designed to prepare the student for Clinical
Practicum I and II. Topics covered in this course are an
introductory exposure to the theoretical and technical aspects
of serology, immunohematology, clinical chemistry analysis,
laboratory safety, lab math and laboratory information systems.
Also included is an in-depth coverage of the biochemistry
and analysis involved in the production of urine and body
fluids as they relate to health and disease.
MEDT 1124 - Hematology & Coagulation 3/3 (4)
Prerequisites: Admission to the Medical Laboratory Technology
program and CHEM 1514 or consent of instructor. This
course is designed to prepare the student for Clinical Practicum
I and II. Included are introductions to the following topics:
lab safety, lab instrumentation, and laboratory mathematics.
Theoretical and practical laboratory applications of principles
and techniques in phlebotomy, normal to abnormal hematology,
and coagulation are covered in depth. In addition, the student
receives an orientation to the clinical laboratory through 10
hours phlebotomy experience at the hospital. Students must have
a criminal background check without any disqualifying convictions
and a negative drug screen prior to enrollment.
MEDT 1415 - Physiologic Systems 4/3 (5)
Prerequisites: One year of high school chemistry and biology
or consent of instructor. This is a course in human physiology
and an introduction to medical terminology. Emphasis is on the
physiology of the circulatory, excretory, respiratory, digestive,
endocrine, and nervous systems of the human. The course will
use the regulatory systems approach, emphasizing the major
homeostatic mechanisms of the body and their integration.
Laboratory exercises will be used to illustrate the anatomy and
physiology of the systems under study.
MEDT 2044 - Clinical Microbiology 3/3 (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL 2714 or consent of instructor. This course is an
in-depth presentation of clinical bacteriology. Topics to be covered include
specimen collection and transport, normal human flora and the
sites associated with it, medias used for culturing and identification
of bacteria from human sources, pathogen susceptibility testing, and
pathology and treatment of human bacterial infections. Also
included is a study of human pathological mycology, the epidemiology
and pathology of fungal infection, the culturing and identification
of pathogenic and normal flora fungi and the treatment
of fungal diseases. In addition, human parasitology including the
epidemiology, pathology, identification from human sources, and
treatment of parasitic infestations will be covered. The student
performs laboratory exercises that simulate hospital procedures
in clinical bacteriology, mycology, and parasitology.
MEDT 2124 - Serology & Blood Banking 3/3 (4)
Prerequisites: MEDT 1114 or consent of instructor. This course
provides an introduction to basic genetics and the nature of the
immune system, with emphasis on the constituents that comprise
serum-mediated immunity. Knowledge of basic laboratory immunologic
principles and procedures are studied. Immunohematology
specifically looks at blood-related antigens and antibiotics
that are encountered in the clinical lab and their relationship to
safe transfusion of blood and its components. Laboratory exercises
include all the commonly performed immunohematology and
serology procedures.
MEDT 2214 - Clinical Chemistry 3/2 (4)
Prerequisites: MEDT 1124 and CHEM 1524; or consent of
instructor. The course encompasses an in-depth study and
understanding of the physiologic and biochemical processes
operant in both health and illness. The student will perform
analyses on various body fluids, grouped according to function of
organ system and will be able to apply and explain the chemical
principles, physiologic and chemical changes, and the clinical
interpretation of their results. Understanding the theory and
application of laboratory instruments (including computers or
laboratory information systems), laboratory math, quality control,
and laboratory safety is emphasized.
MEDT 2316 - Clinical Practicum I 0/18 (6)
Prerequisite: Successful completion of the courses listed in the
first three semesters of the Medical Laboratory Technology
curriculum and concurrent enrollment in MEDT 2326. This
course consists of supervised clinical training and is taken simultaneously
with MEDT 2326. Students must have a criminal
background check without any disqualifying convictions and a
negative drug screen prior to enrollment.
MEDT 2326 - Clinical Practicum II 0/18 (6)
Prerequisite: Successful completion of the courses listed in the
first three semesters of the Medical Laboratory Technology
curriculum and concurrent enrollment in MEDT 2316. This
course consists of supervised clinical training and is taken
simultaneously with MEDT 2316. A minimum grade of 70
percent for each departmental evaluation, 75 percent for each
departmental exam and 75 percent for the mock registry exam
must be attained to successfully pass the practicum and graduate
from the program.
MEDT 2462 - Medical Laboratory Technology
Seminar 2/0 (2)
Prerequisite: Successful completion of the courses listed in the first
three semesters of the Medical Laboratory Technology curriculum
or consent of instructor. This course is the culmination of the
Medical Laboratory Technology program. It provides the student
the means to do a comprehensive review in preparation to take the
American Society for Clinical Pathology National Registry exam
or other certifying agency exam. It also introduces the student to
topics related to medical technology and the chance to research
and report on them. The course also helps prepare students to be
workforce ready by giving them the opportunity to perform and
teach others important skills used by medical personnel. Lastly, students
will compile a working resume and interview skills that can
be used when applying for positions in the medical laboratory.
Music
MUSC 1513 - Music Appreciation 3/0 (3)
Prerequisite: Appropriate assessment score or completion of
ENGL 1413 with grade of C or better or consent of instructor.
Students will study representative characteristics and genres from
all of the major historical eras. The first unit covers classicism,
the second unit covers medieval to baroque music, and the third
unit covers romantic through contemporary music. Students will
