CLT 201 - Hematology & Coagulation


A comprehensive study of the hematopoietic and coagulation systems, including the normal physiology and classic pathology of both systems.  Emphasis is on the theory and clinical significance of routine and special test procedures.

Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:

Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:

  1. Explain the theory of normal development of the hematopoietic system.
  2. Explain the biosynthetic process for cell maturation and destruction in erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets.
  3. Describe the mechanisms for the development of disease in hematopoietic systems and differentiate those diseases from one another.
  4. Recognize normal and abnormal hematopoietic morphologies, including changes in bone marrow, blood vessels, cells, and plasma proteins.
  5. Describe manual and automated analytical testing principles used to evaluate hematopoietic states and relate their usage to specific patient etiologies.
  6. Explain the processes of hemostasis, thrombosis, and fibrinolysis and their interaction with each other.
  7. Describe the mechanisms for the development of disease in the hemostatic system.
  8. Describe analytical testing principles for hemostasis used to evaluate hemostatic states and relate their usage to specific patient etiologies.
