A study of standard tests and techniques presently performed in the clinical laboratory.
Course will include emphasis on blood counts, coagulation procedures, hemoglobin,
hematocrit, differential smear evaluations, sedimentation rates, indices, platelet
and reticulocyte counts. Methods of blood collection, including phlebotomy and capillary
puncture techniques, will be taught. Also included is the study of the origin and
development of blood, human blood in normal and disease states, blood hemostasis and
coagulation deficiencies.
