3 Credit Hours (Fall)
Prerequisite: successful completion of MELA 135. A continuation of concepts and principles of MELA 135. Identification techniques and clinical and laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases will be discussed in detail. Includes discussion and practice of rapid diagnostic tests. [32-48-80] Lab Fee
250 SEMINAR
1 Credit Hour (Spring)
Prerequisite: must be taken concurrently with MELA 260. This comprehensive review of course work, which was completed previously, is designed to prepare the student for national certifying examinations, provide a forum for discussion of current issues in clinical laboratory science, and augment the concurrent clinical experience. Case studies, guest lecturers, and special projects are used.
260 COORDINATED CLINICAL PRACTICUM
14 Credit Hours (Spring)
Prerequisite: completion of all other course work required for graduation, concurrent with MELA 250, or program coordinator approval. This is a fully-supervised, coordinated period of clinical experience, which takes place in an affiliated clinical laboratory facility as assigned by program officials. It is the capstone course in the Medical Laboratory Technology Program as it provides application and practice of skills acquired in previous course work. [0-720-720]
265 ADVANCED CLINICAL PRACTICUM
10 Credit Hours (Spring)
Prerequisites: completion of all other course work required for graduation, concurrent with MELA 250, laboratory work experience, or program coordinator's approval. This is a fully-supervised, coordinated period of clinical experience that takes place in an affiliated clinical laboratory facility as assigned by program officials. It is the capstone course in the Medical Laboratory Technology Program as it provides application and practice of skills acquired in previous course work. Past work experience in a clinical lab allows for a shortened practicum. [0-560-560]
