LABMP 501 - Advanced Immunohematology
This course presents advanced level theory and practice in immunohematology as it relates to transfusion medicine. Topics covered include blood group genetics, and classification, immune hemolysis, factors influencing clinical significance of blood antigen-antibody interactions, as well as investigations and management of perinatal and alloantibodies. Course content will be delivered through lectures, seminars and workshops as well as directed reading, and will include a clinical practicum at an approved clinical transfusion service laboratory and/or a portfolio of work experiences. This course is designed primarily for students enrolled in the Specialization in Transfusion Science program, or by permission from the Department.
LABMP 502 - Immunohematology Techniques
This course presents advanced level immunohematology methods as they relate to transfusion medicine. Topics covered include blood cell genotyping methods, the development of monoclonal reagents and solid-phase and microcolumn platforms for performing the pre-transfusion tests, cellular, serology and microarray and other techniques for in vitro measurements of the antigen-antibody reactions. Course content will be delivered through lectures, seminars and workshops as well as directed reading, and will include a clinical practicum at an approved clinical transfusion service laboratory and/or a portfolio of work experiences. This course is designed primarily for students enrolled in the Specialization in Transfusion Science program, or by permission from the Department.
LABMP 503 - Blood Supply and Distribution I
This course covers topics from blood donation to transfusion, including the management of collection, production, testing, storage, and distribution of components and products for routine transfusion. Course content will be delivered through lectures, seminars and workshops as well as directed reading, and will include a clinical practicum at an approved clinical transfusion service laboratory and/or a portfolio of work experiences. This course is designed primarily for students enrolled in the Specialization in Transfusion Science program, or by permission from the Department.
LABMP 504 - Blood Supply and Distribution II
This course covers topics from blood donation to transfusion, including the management of collection, production, testing, storage, and distribution of blood components and products for transfusion in special clinical indications, including stem cell and solid organ transplant. Course content will be delivered through lectures, seminars and workshops as well as directed reading, and will include a clinical practicum at an approved clinical transfusion service laboratory and/or a portfolio of work experiences. This course is designed primarily for students enrolled in the Specialization in Transfusion Science program, or by permission from the Department. Prerequisites: LABMP 503.
LABMP 505 - Advanced Transfusion Support
This course covers theory of specific clinical disorders requiring advanced transfusion knowledge. Topics include the management of hematological disorders, transplantation, perinatal and massive transfusion support. Course content will be delivered through lectures, seminars and workshops as well as directed reading, and will include a clinical practicum at an approved clinical transfusion service laboratory and/or a portfolio of work experiences. This course is designed primarily for students enrolled in the Specialization in Transfusion Science program, or by permission from the Department. Prerequisites: LABMP 501 and LABMP 502.
LABMP 506 - Clinical Laboratory Operations and Quality Management Systems
This course covers topics related to the Quality Systems Essentials as they apply to the management of a transfusion service and blood supplier. In addition, topics in laboratory management including personnel, laboratory information systems and equipment as well as method validation and proficiency testing will be reviewed. Course content will be delivered through lectures, seminars and workshops as well as directed reading, and will include a clinical practicum at an approved clinical transfusion service laboratory and/or a portfolio of work experiences. This course is designed primarily for students enrolled in the Specialization in Transfusion Science program, or by permission from the Department.
LABMP 540 - Directed Reading in Laboratory Medicine and Pathology
Reading and study of basic laboratory medicine and pathology topics relevant to the student's chosen field of study under the direction of one or more faculty members. Prerequisite: Consent of Graduate Co-ordinator, Laboratory Medicine and Pathology.
LABMP 600 - Clinical Practicum I
As a part of clinical laboratory practicum education for the Transfusion Science specialization, this course will provide rotations in blood banks, hospitals and cell therapy laboratories. The student will be expected to cover specific competencies and objectives and keep a record of cases encountered. A designated preceptor in each rotation will guide student learning and continuously assess student progress. Prerequisites: LABMP 501 and 502 and permission of the department. (Restricted to MSc Transfusion Science specialization.)
