MLTE 214 Hematology and Hemostasis*
This course involves the study of blood cells in peripheral blood, bone marrow, and other body fluids. Concepts of normal and abnormal blood cell maturation, physiology, and morphology are examined as well as hemostasis (coagulation). The course is intended to be an introduction to routine laboratory methods and instrumentation with correlation of laboratory observations with disease conditions.

IV. Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:
- Identify the hematopoietic cells in peripheral blood, bone marrow and other body fluids.
- Demonstrate the knowledge necessary to perform blood cell counts, and evaluation of blood elements within stated limits of accuracy.
- Discuss OSHA safety regulations for blood borne pathogens and state how to be in compliance.
- Explain pre-analytical and analytical and post analytical issues on lab test results.
- Discuss instrumentation and computerization in Hematology.
- Explain the various components of the hemostatic system.
- Explore from the laboratory perspective, the most common hematological diseases including, anemia, benign disorders, malignant disorders, bleeding disorders, and thrombotic disorders.
- State normal and critical ranges for the routine and screening tests commonly performed in hematology.
- Correlate hematological findings with those generated in other areas of the clinical laboratory, patient symptoms and clinical history, to make appropriate and effective on-the-job professional decisions.
- Demonstrate accurate/effective psychomotor skills in student lab and internship by utilizing the information from this course.
