See Schedule of Courses for specific titles.

Lectures and laboratory experiences introduce basic principles in clinical quantitative analysis and laboratory instrumentation; test results are correlated with clinical case studies. Credit not awarded for both MLS 3100 and MLS 5100. Prerequisites: ANPS 1190 and ANPS 1200; CHEM 1400 and CHEM 1450; CHEM 1580 or CHEM 2580.

Advanced theory and analysis of blood cell physiology and related pathology. Concepts of hemostasis and clinical assessment methods. Credit not awarded for both MLS 3200 and MLS 5200. Prerequisites: One semester of organic chemistry, one semester of biochemistry.

The laboratory sessions will cover four broad areas of hematology practice: 1) laboratory tests associated with hemostasis, 2) laboratory tests and morphology seen in diseases affecting WBC cells, 3) peripheral blood and bone marrow cell morphology, and 4) laboratory tests and the associated morphology diagnostic of various RBC disorders. Prerequisite: One semester of organic chemistry, one semester of biochemistry. Co-requisite: MLS 3200.

Comprehensive study of non-bacterial pathogenic microorganisms and their disease states in humans. Includes medical mycology, parasitology and virology. Credit not awarded for both MLS 3300 and MLS 5300. Prerequisites: MMG 1650 or MMG 2010.

Advanced theory and experience related to human blood groups and transfusion practice. Credit not awarded for both MLS 3400 and MLS 5400. Prerequisite: BHSC 3420 or MMG 3230.

Advanced survey of key current topics in immunology. Focus on understanding the key concepts and experimental approaches in the major areas in immunology, with an emphasis on applications to human disease. Prerequisites: Cell Biology and Biochemistry recommended.
