Clinical Immunology

Catalog description

Clinical immunology is the study of diseases caused by disorders of the immune system. This course is designed to give students an understanding of the immune disease processes and immune responses in the context of infections, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders. It also involves diseases of other systems, where immune reactions play a part in the pathology and cliical features. Students will learn different laboratory testing procedures used to detect immune system disease and monitor the efficacy of treatment. A series of lectures covers course components; additional materials are presented through clinical laboratories that students perform coupled with clinical corrrelations that focus on clinically applied immunological concepts. An effort has been made to increase clinical relevance and problem-solving skills through an discussion board topics and other interactive classroom assignments. Advance competencies are required in this graduate level course. Prerequisite(s): CLSC 6640 and CLSC 6645 Lecture Hours: 4 Repeatability: May not be repeated for credit.
