Pathology Sciences
As advanced molecular testing and imaging become more prominent, it is crucial to expand the workforce of medical professionals with comprehensive knowledge of pathology and advanced testing. The instruments and technologies used to detect disease and monitor treatment are becoming more sophisticated, making health care professionals trained with a graduate certificate even more valuable, interacting with clinicians to examine diagnostic information and interpret results.
With the Pathology Sciences graduate certificate, you will expand your expertise in the field of medical diagnostic sciences, without needing to commit to a full graduate degree program. However, there may be a dual benefit, as this certificate can also be applied towards completion of Oakland University’s Master of Science in Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences degree.
The Pathology Sciences certificate consists of 16 credits:
- CDS 5010: Pathology (4 credits)
- CDS 5030: Histopathology (4 credits)
- CDS 5200: Literature Review (1 credit)
- CDS 5700: Medical Endocrinology (4 credits)
- CDS 6300: Molecular and Cellular Pathology (3 credits)
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences, Health Sciences, Biology or a related field
- Undergraduate coursework in Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry which may be satisfied by the following Oakland University courses or their equivalent
- Medical Physiology (BIO 3620)
- Human Anatomy (Bio 2100)
- Medical Biochemistry (CDS 4250) OR Fundamentals of Biochemistry (BIO 3230)
