Objectives

Define the key terms associated with parasitology.
Select the appropriate specimen type(s) for the recovery of specific parasites.
Summarize the purpose of and procedures associated with general laboratory diagnosis techniques.
Convert back and forth between the scientific and common names of parasites.
Identify & describe key parasitic morphologic terms.
Match conditions and disease states with corresponding causative parasites.
Identify & describe key parasite life cycle concepts.
Arrange parasite life cycle stages in order of occurance.
Given a brief description and/or case scenario with a picture of one or more suspicious forms, where appropriate: (1) identify the suspicious form(s) by scientific name, common name and/or morphologic form;(2) label morphologic structures;(3) determine the appropriate parasite classification category; and (4) select the corresponding condition/disease state.

This course consists of two components - an ungraded review mode, which includes 300 questions and answers that will help you to quiz yourself on the included topics, and a graded continuing education mode, which includes 60 questions selected at random from the questions included in review mode. The graded mode carries CE credit, but the review does not. You'll need to complete the graded mode in order to receive the listed continuing education credit. The review mode can be accessed as many times as you like, and the graded mode can be repeated until you reach a passing score.
