MLS 63600 - Microscopic Evaluation 2

This course allows students to apply acquired didactic material in a supervised clinical practice setting. Students are assigned microscopic screening assignments and expected to detect, select and appropriately mark cellular findings most representative of a pathologic process, if present. Students will correlate microscopic findings with clinical information, past history and concurrent histologic specimens and compose a preliminary cytologic interpretation using an established system of terminology. Students are assigned to licensed cytotechnologists who re-screen their slides and provide immediate feedback regarding performance.
