A typical program in one of our affiliated schools is as follows:

Clinical Chemistry

Lecture and laboratory instruction in medically oriented biochemistry as applied to normal and abnormal physiology and analysis of body constituents. Includes instruction in instrumentation in clinical laboratory.

Clinical Hematology

Lecture and laboratory instruction in the analysis of cellular elements of the blood and bone marrow, both normal and abnormal, and of the hemostatic mechanisms.

Immunohematology

Lecture and laboratory instruction in the theory and practice of immunohematology as applied to blood transfusion, component therapy, immunologic diagnostic procedures and blood bank administration.

Microbiology

Lecture and laboratory instruction in the isolation and identification of pathogenic organisms and of their susceptibility to therapeutic agents. Includes bacteriology, mycology, virology and parasitology.

Clinical Microscopy

Lecture and laboratory instruction on body fluids and urine in regard to chemical and cellular composition. In addition, normal and abnormal kidney function is stressed.

Introduction To Lab Management

Lecture and exercises in the theory and practice of laboratory supervision, management and problem solving with a component on the education and research in the clinical laboratories.

Clinical Laboratory Theory, Application And Correlations

Lecture and case study exercises in the diagnosis and treatment of common disease states.
