Study of the origin, development, morphology, physiology and pathophysiology of the formed elements of the blood and bone marrow. Manual and automated methods of cell counting, differentiation and other special hematological procedures on blood and body fluids used in disease diagnosis are included.
Clinical Immunohematology
Study of red cell antigen/antibody systems, antibody screening and identification, compatibility testing and immunopathologic conditions. Also included are donor requirements and blood component preparation and therapy.
Clinical Immunology
Study of principles of protective and adversive aspects of cellular and humoral immune responses. Theory and performance of test procedures based on antigen/antibody reactions and clinical significance of test results are included.
Clinical Microbiology I
Theory and practice of isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria and mycrobacteria in clinical specimens through cultures, morphology, biochemical and/or serologic methods. Relation of clinical testing to disease states and epidemiology as it applies to microbiology is included.
Clinical Microbiology II

Special Topics in Clinical Laboratory Science
Overview of medical ethics, patient approach, theory and practice of phlebotomy techniques, laboratory safety, applications of laboratory computer systems and independent clinical research and development.
Clinical Management and Education
Basic introduction to principles and theory of management and education as related to clinical laboratory. Special job responsibilities of clinical laboratory scientist in management and education are addressed.

To complete the minimum of 36 biology credits, biology majors should select courses from Biology Content Categories, or other biology courses listed in the Bulletin. For those students doing research, a maximum of 6 credits of research from Biology 391 and 392 may count toward the 36 biology credits needed for the major.

Students in the pre-medical technology program can graduate with a biology major (36 credits) by taking two additional biology courses above the 300 level.

SENIOR YEAR
The Senior year is usually spent at an accredited hospital in an approved medical technology program. To be eligible to apply for the hospital medical technology program, the student must have earned a minimum of 92 semester hours of credit from Millikin University's prescribed Medical Technology curriculum. Students completing their senior year in an approved hospital medical technology program are exempt from the Off-Campus Learning and Biology Senior Seminar (BI 481 or 482) requirements and may transfer 32 credit hours to Millikin University to complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.
