• This course is focused on the study of the concepts and principles of heredity and inheritance which include genetic phenomena, sex determination, and genetic defects rooted in inheritance, among others.
• It also discusses the abnormalities and genetic disorders involving the chromosomes and nucleic acids. Emphasis is given to the analysis of nucleic acids and their application to medical science
Cytogenetics
• This course deals with the study of the fundamentals of cells, tissues and organs with emphasis on microscopic structures, characteristics, differences and functions.
• The laboratory component of this course primarily deals with the microscopic identification and differentiation of cells that make up the systems of the body.
Human Histology
• This course covers basic concepts and principles of disease processes, etiology, and the development of anatomic, microscopic changes brought about by the disease process.
• It deals with the histopathologic techniques necessary for the preparation of tissue samples collected via surgery, biopsy, and/or autopsy for macroscopic and microscopic examinations for diagnostic purposes.
Histopathologic Techniques with Cytology
• This course deals with the study of the physiology and morphology of bacteria and their role in infection and immunity.
• Its emphasis is on the collection of specimens and the isolation and identification of bacteria.
• It also covers antimicrobial susceptibility testing and development of resistance to antimicrobial substances.
Clinical Bacteriology
• This course is concerned with the study of animal parasites in humans and their medical significance in the country.
• Its emphasis is on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, life cycle, prevention and control, and the identification of ova and/or adult worms and other form ion and control, and the identification of ova and/or adult worms and other forms seen in specimens submitted for diagnostic purposes.
Clinical Parasitology
• This course tackles concepts of inheritance, characterization and laboratory identification and red cells antigens and their corresponding antibodies
• It covers the application of these antigens/antibodies in transfusion medicine and transfusions reactions work-up.
Immunohematology and Blood Bank
• This course deals with the study of fungi and viruses as agents of diseases with emphasis on epidemiology, laboratory identification and characterization, and prevention and control.
Mycology and Virology
• This course investigates the concepts of laboratory management which are planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling as applied in clinical laboratory setting.
• Solving problems, quality assurance, quality control, policy and procedure manuals
Laboratory Management
• This course encompasses various laws, administrative orders and other approved legal documents related to practice of Medical Technology/ Medical Laboratory Science in the Philippines
Medical Technology Laws and Bioethics
o study of ethics as applied to health and health care delivers and to human life in general e.g. bioethical principles, philosophical principles, virtues and norms, Code of Ethics
BIOETHICS
• This course deals with the study of concepts of blood as a tissue. Formation, metabolism of cells, laboratory assays, correlation with pathologic conditions, special hematology evaluation
