New Resource Alert from APTA Acute Care!

We’re excited to announce the release of the Introduction to the Laboratory Values Interpretation Resource for Pediatrics Competency; a new tool created in collaboration with the APTA Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy.

This updated competency expands on the trusted 2023 Laboratory Values Interpretation Resource to address the unique needs of pediatric practice. Designed for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, this resource helps clinicians apply lab values interpretation to support clinical decision-making, team collaboration, and the delivery of exceptional patient care in pediatric and acute care settings.

Why explore this new competency?
âś… Supports application of lab values to real-world pediatric scenarios
âś… Includes rationales and references to deepen clinical reasoning
âś… Aligns with the latest 2023 Lab Values Interpretation Resource and Point of Care document

Whether you’re a clinician working with children in acute care or looking to strengthen your understanding of lab values across the lifespan, this competency is your go-to guide for informed, evidence-based practice.

Download the new competency today and take your pediatric care to the next level!
