Web Course: Parasitology/Mycology

This web-based Parasitology/Mycology course is self-paced and designed to give students the skills necessary to perform parasitological examinations in the clinical laboratory. Beginning with terms and procedures, the course is an excursion through the world of protozoan, helminth, and arthropod parasites of humans. While epidemiology, pathogenesis, and life cycles are studied, emphasis is placed upon morphological features that separate one organism from others. An overview of Mycology is included in the final stages of the course.

The course is organized into lectures available both as MS Word and Adobe “PDF” documents. Laboratory instruction is accomplished by way of streaming video and “virtual microscopy.”

Mid-term and final examinations will require the student to appear in person at the testing center at ACC’s Riverside Campus.
