BIOL 467L - Hematology and Hemostasis Lab

1 Credits
This laboratory course is designed to complement the theoretical knowledge gained in the lectures on hematology and hemostasis. Students will develop practical skills in laboratory techniques essential for the analysis of blood samples, including cell counting, morphology assessment, and coagulation testing. Upon completion of this laboratory course, students will be prepared to work effectively in hematology laboratories, contributing to the accurate diagnosis and monitoring of various blood-related conditions.

Grade Note(s): All BIOL prefixed courses required for the BS Biological Sciences degree program require a C or better grade for successful completion.
