Study Notes
Medical Technology Curriculum
- Before taking Immunology and Serology, students must complete Bacteriology.
General Education Courses
- General Education courses aim to develop fundamental knowledge, skills, values, and habits.
- The goals of these courses contribute to students success in life, positive contributions to society, an understanding of diverse cultures, and a broader perspective on living with others.
- General Education courses also develop respect for differing opinions, an understanding of personal weaknesses and how to improve them, and an appreciation for personal strengths.
-
New CMO general education courses:
- Understanding the self
- Readings in Philippine History
- The Contemporary World
- Mathematics in the Modern Word
- Purposive Communication
- The Life and Works of Rizal
- Science, Technology, and Society
- Art Appreciation
- Ethics
Professional Courses
- Professional courses develop knowledge, technical competence, professional attitude, and values for the profession.
- Professional courses develop:
- Critical thinking skills
- Decision-making skills
- Interpersonal skills
- Collaboration
- Teamwork
Professional Courses
-
Professional Course Examples:
- Principles of Medical Laboratory Science 1: Covers introduction to Medical Laboratory Science, laboratory safety, and waste management.
- Principles of Medical Laboratory Science 2: Covers concepts and principles of different clinical laboratory assays, and phlebotomy.
-
Hematology 1: Covers blood as a tissue, cell formation, metabolism, laboratory assays, correlation with pathologic conditions, and special hematology evaluation.
- Procedures include: Complete blood count, hematocrit blood test, platelet count, blood smear preparation and staining, red cell morphology, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fragility test, erythrocyte count, reticulocyte count, instrumentation, osmotic fragility test, quality assurance and quality control, biosafety and waste management.
-
Hematology 2: Covers concepts and principles of hemostasis, and abnormalities involving red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets.
- Procedures include: Identification of abnormal RBC and WBC, special staining techniques, coagulation factor tests (e.g., APTT, PT, CTBT, Clot retraction time.)
-
Clinical Microscopy: Covers the study of urine and other body fluids.
- Procedures include: Routine urinalysis (macroscopic, microscopic, chemical examination), special chemical examination of urine, examination of other body fluids (seminal fluid, gastric juice, CSF), pregnancy tests, and chemical examination of stool specimens.
