Course Description:
This course is designed to introduce students to the major disciplines (Hematology,
Histopathology, Microbiology, Clinical Chemistry, Blood Banking, etc.) in the Medical Technology
profession. In addition, students are introduced to the structure of clinical laboratory and pathology
services and an examination of the roles and functions of Medical Technologist. Students are aquainted
with Professional Practice issues including ethical practices in medical technology and laboratory-based
research and introduction to environmental and occupational health and safety issues affectimg
laboratory practices. The course includes discussion on the historical foundation of the Profession, its
impact to society and its contribution to other medical sciences.
General Objective
