Immunohematology Laboratory
Corequisites: MLS 460.
This course focuses on applying immunohematology theory through hands-on laboratory testing and clinical problem solving. Students perform routine and specialized immunohematology testing, interpret serologic findings, and resolve discrepancies using case-based and unknown specimens to support transfusion decision-making. This course will prepare students for a clinical practicum in Immunohematology.
Outcomes: Perform routine and specialized immunohematology testing, including ABO/Rh typing, antibody screening and identification, and compatibility testing, following established laboratory procedures; Interpret serologic reactions and laboratory data to identify clinically significant antibodies and discrepancies; Use laboratory findings from given cases and unknown specimens to resolve immunohematologic problems and support appropriate transfusion decisions; Apply laboratory safety guidelines, including standard precautions and PPE use, to promote personal and laboratory safety.
