CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCES COURSES - CLS * Acceptance into the CLT program requted **Acceptance into the CLS program requted 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 1113. Introduction to Clinical Laboratory Practices (4) Principles and applications to laboratory testing including safe practices for the laboratory practitioner, specimen quality assurance, phlebotomy, urinalysis, basic concepts in clinical immunology, and clinical approaches to immunological testing. Laboratory session addresses the principles and applications to laboratory testing including safe practices for the laboratory practitioner, specimen quality assurance, phlebotomy, urinalysis, basic concepts in clinical immunology, and clinical approaches to immunological testing. CLS 1123. Principles of Hematology and Hemostasis (5) S Fundamental theories of hematopoiesis, routine laboratory evaluation of blood components using standard instrumentation and microscopic methods, including safety and quality control.
