Analytical Chemistry Applications in Clinical Laboratory Sciences (4) 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, eledrolyte, protein, lipid, enzyme, therapeutic dmg monitoring, toxicology, and endocrinology chemistry. These topics will indude clinical correlation with diabetes, hepatic, pancreatic, renal, and endocrine diseases. This non-laboratory course is designed for those who have hold degrees in non-clinical laboratory science areas and wish to obtain current dinical education in analytical chemistry specific to the modern clinical hospital laboratory. Prerequisite: Open to clinical laboratory personnel only. CLS 5102. Clincal Applications in Hematology and Hemostasis (3) This course covers the concepts, analytical methods, and clinical correlation of clinical hematology and hemostasis as it applies to the medical clinical laboratory will be presented in this online course. In addition to normal fundions, the topics will indude 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-clinical laboratory science and wish to obtain current clinical education in Clinical hematology and hemostasis specific to the modern clinical hospital laboratory. Additionally, CLS or aT- degreed professionals may take this course to update thdr didadic skills and knowledge in Clinical Hematology and Hemostasis as it is practiced in today's hospitals and clinics. Prerequisite: Open to clinical laboratory personnel only. CLS 5103.

DEPARTMENT Dental Hygiene Department Chair: Ms. Stephanie Bossenberger, RDH, M.S. Location: Allied Health, Room 475 Telephone Contact: Melody Neely 801-626-6130 Professors: Stephanie Bossenberger, Frances L. McConaughy; Assistant Professors: Kami Hanson, Shelly Costley; Instructors: Susan Alexander, Jeffrey S. Perry I he dental hygienist is a health educator and clinician concerned with the prevention of dental disease. Dental hygienists perform their services in a variety of settings, and are members of the dental team who are licensed to provide services directly to the client. Dental hygienists provide oral health education, remove deposits from around the teeth and gums, expose dental radiographs and deliver other treatments to prevent and manage dental disease. The dental hygiene curriculum is three years in length. The first year may be completed at any accredited college or university and consists of pre dental hygiene courses. These courses include: chemistry anatomy, physiology, microbiology, English, public speaking, psychology, sociology and nutrition. This year of pre-dental hygiene courses is followed by two years of spedalized study in dental hygiene. The two year dental hygiene curriculum indudes pradical experience in the WSU Dental Hygiene ainic. Students also rotate to off-campus sites for extended clinical experiences. Students who successfully complete the three-year curriculum are awarded an Associate of Science degree from Weber State. A fourth year leading to a bachdor's degree is optional. To become a licensed dental hygienist, each student must successfully pass a written National Board Exam and a practical regional exam. The Dental Hygiene Program is accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation, a spedalized accrediting agency recognized by the Council on Post-secondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. Dental Hygiene bachelor's degree (bs) » Program Prerequisite: Successful completion of an Associate's Degree in Dental Hygiene, National Board Examination and a Regional or State Practical Exam. Maintenance of a current dental hygiene license » Minor: Not Required. » Grade Requirements: All courses required for the major must be successfully completed with a grade of "C" or better (a "C-" grade is not acceptable). » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation - 88 of these are taken for the AS degree and an additional 7 must be taken to complete the BS in Dental Hygiene degree. A prerequisite to the Baccalaureate Thesis course is an upper division Research and Statistics course (numbered Weber State University 2007 - 2008 Catalog
