CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCES COURSES - CLS 'Acceptance into the CLT program required "Acceptance into the CLS program required CLS 1000. Core Clinical Laboratory Skills (3) The CLS 1000 course is designed to teach core clinical laboratory skills to individuals from various health care professions. The curriculum will focus on basic laboratory methods in quality control, quality assurance, information recording and transfer, normal and abnormal laboratory values, and problem recognition. Students will receive basic technical instruction in phlebotomy, specimen collection and processing, and laboratory instrumentation in the areas of hematology, serology, urinalysis, and clinical chemistry. Prerequisite: Departmental Approval. CLS 1001. A Case Study Approach to the Health Sciences (2) A Case Study Approach to the Health Sciences is a WSU Online course designed for senior high school and college/university students wishing to explore the interactions and responsibilities of health care professionals in varied patient care settings. The approach of the course revolves around medical case histories with each case focusing on a different disease process affecting one or more organ systems. The cases link to four supporting links: medical terms, body systems, diagnostic testing and health professions. Each of these four divisions link to relevant internal or external (WEB) sites. As the student progresses through each case, they will review basic human anatomy and physiology, medical terms and the health professional's roles, as well as their educational and training requirements. Additionally, the student will explore key medical diagnostic tests (e.g. laboratory, imaging) used in patient disease diagnosis, management and prevention. The course emphasizes the importance of the team approach to patient care. CLS 1113.
