Procedures studied include urinalysis, hematology, bacteriology, immunology, and basal metabolism. 3 lectures, 3 labs, 4 credits Prerequisite: MOA-240 Credits: 4 - 6 Hours Lecture: 3 hours Laboratory: 3 hours Clock Hours: 90 Prerequisite: MOA240 Clinical Office Practices Required Textbooks: Clinical Procedures for the Medical Assistants, and student workbook, Eighth Edition By Kathy Bonewit-West W.B. Saunders Company, A Harcourt Health Science Company Topical Outline of Course Coverage: 1. Introduction to the Physician's Office Laboratory (POL) 2. Safety in the laboratory 3. The microscope 4. Other laboratory equipment and supplies 5. Statistics in the POL 6. Quality assurance and quality control 7. Record keeping in the POL 8. Urinalysis, physical, chemical, microscopic, anatomy, collection of specimens 9. Hematology, collection, testing, manual, automatic 10. Immunology 11. Cultures MOA Curriculum Competencies: Competencies are performed for either a grade which is determined and explained to the student prior or for a pass\fail determination by the instructor. The student receives 3 attempts to pass\fail. The student’s grade determination for a grade is 1st attempt 100%, minus points if missing a step, 2nd attempt is minus 11 points, 3rd attempt minus 22 points. Any steps not completed for additional attempts will be minus points. Points are determined by the amount of steps to be completed based on the total grade determination. Some competencies will be a pass/fail determined by the instructor. *Student must successfully pass all the psychomotor and affective competencies in order to pass the course and progress in the program.
