ML 223 - Clinical Chemistry III Lab

Credit Hours: 1

This course involves the study and analytical practices of glucose, enzymes, renal systems, the hepatic system, and lipids. Emphasis is placed on technical skills, laboratory analysis, testing and observation of both hospital and contrived patient samples. Laboratory methods include urinalysis, fecal occult blood testing, and use of laboratory instrumentation to perform analysis of glucose, enzymatic testing, and lipid profiles. Students practice aseptic technique, collection and handling of patient specimens and must successfully demonstrate competence in skill assessment by performance under direct observation of the instructor.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Perform glucose, body fluid, urinalysis, FOB, and lipid testing using various methods. (P, TL III, PC 2, 4, 5, 6, 7)
Identify pre and post analytical factors affecting samples and results. (C, TL I, PC 2, 4, 5, 6, 7)
Perform controls to identify any issues with testing and trouble shoot when necessary. (P, TL III, PC 2, 4, 5, 6, 7)
