MLS 4320 - Hemostasis

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Medical Lab Science

Description:

Required course for students admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science professional program. Theories and concepts of hemostasis are presented, including plasma and cell-based models of normal coagulation and fibrinolysis. Hemorrhagic diseases and thrombotic disorders will be covered and laboratory tests critical to the diagnosis, prognosis, and to monitoring treatment of these conditions are discussed in detail. In the lab, students use manual methods and technology to analyze clinical samples to detect, differentiate, and quantify coagulation abnormalities. This course requires a Differential Tuition Rate which is an additional fee of $151 charged per credit hour. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Relate knowledge of the physiology of hemostasis to the laboratory evaluation and monitoring of congenital and acquired bleeding and thrombotic conditions and diseases in terms of key lab tests, test principles, specimen requirements, and tests' reference ranges. 2. Distinguish each hemorrhagic and thrombotic condition and disease studied in the course according to etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, key laboratory findings, and treatment options. 3. Justify the use of molecular techniques in the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of the treatment of hemostatic disorders. 4. Competently perform a range of basic tests and procedures, including accurately interpreting and reporting results used to evaluate hemostasis and anticoagulant therapy. 5. Analyze various anticoagulant therapy scenarios to recommend appropriate lab tests to monitor therapy, recognize appropriate testing frequency, and identify test results indicating inappropriate dosing. Course fee required. Prerequisite: Admission to the Utah Tech University Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science professional program. FA
