Medical Assistant Laboratory and Diagnostic Procedures
WVEIS 0737
Instructional content will focus on an introduction to the medical laboratory, safety, principles of disease transmission and
prevention, and medical and surgical asepsis. With input and participation of therapeutic services professionals,
instructional content will incorporate project and problem-based therapeutic practices and procedures to demonstrate the
criticality of these knowledge and skills. Students will obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to assist and/or perform
basic laboratory and diagnostic procedures. Current technology including, but not limited to, electronic mail and Internet
applications will be utilized to search for and access information. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and
participate in hands-on activities to develop an understanding of course concepts. Teachers will provide each student
with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to the study of medical assisting. The West Virginia
Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content Standards and 21st Century
Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates
learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives. Students are encouraged to become active
members of Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), the Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for
health science education students.
