488 Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke College of Health Professions MLS 4803 - Research Projects in Medical Laboratory Sciences I Credits: (2) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem, Online] In this first of two courses, students will identify a significant laboratory related research question and develop an original research design to address that question. Students will work closely with faculty mentors and will prepare a grant application for funding of supplies and reagents, and write an IRB (Institutional Review Board) application. Actual research will be conducted spring semester in the course MLS 4804. Pre/Co-requisite: MLS 3302 . **Acceptance into the MLS BS Program required. MLS 4804 - Research Projects in Medical Laboratory Sciences II Credits: (l) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem, Online] This course is a continuation of MLS 4803 , Research Projects in MLS I. Students will continue working on their original research project that was initiated fall semester. After completing the project, students will present their research findings in poster and oral formats, along with preparing a formal manuscript for publication in the university undergraduate research journal ERGO and possibly in other appropriate scientific journals.

MLS 5101 - Analytical Chemistry Applications in Medical Laboratory Sciences Credits: (4) Typically taught: Fall [Online] Spring [Online] Summer [Online] Concepts, analytical methods, and clinical correlation of analytical chemistry as it applies to medical clinical chemistry are presented. Emphasis is on analytical methods and quality control practices covering carbohydrate, bilirubin, non-protein nitrogen, electrolyte, protein, lipid, enzyme, therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, and endocrinology chemistry. These topics will include clinical correlation with diabetes, hepatic, pancreatic, renal, and endocrine diseases. This non-laboratory course is designed for those who have degrees in non-medical laboratory science areas and wish to obtain current education in analytical chemistry specific to the modern hospital laboratory. MLS 5102 - Clincal Applications in Hematology and Hemostasis Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Online] Spring [Online] Summer [Online] This course covers the concepts, analytical methods, and clinical correlation of hematology and hemostasis as it applies to the medical laboratory. In addition to normal functions, the topics will include clinical correlation with various hematological and hemostatic disease processes. Current testing and instrumentation will be included as well as regulatory and competency information. This non- laboratory course is designed for individuals holding BS/BA degrees in non-medical laboratory science and wish to obtain current education in hematology and hemostasis specific to the modern hospital laboratory.
