MLSCI 230 - Hematology And HemostasisAn introduction to the theory and practice of hematology and hemostasis. Topics include the morphology, structure, and function of red cells, white cells, and platelets, malignant and benign conditions that affect each cell type, and tests to distinguish among disease states including anemia, leukemia, and coagulation disorders. Division of Medical Laboratory Science• Taught lectures and mentored undergraduate students in medical laboratory classes, and demonstrations of laboratory techniques.• Evaluated student progress through case study presentations, lab reports, and exams.
