Recognizing the importance of lab test interpretation, the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants identified the selection and interpretation of “appropriate diagnostic or lab studies” as a key competency for physician assistants.
Our resource, Clinician’s Guide to Laboratory Medicine: Pocket, was written to help students and practitioners interpret lab tests. Unlike other resources, this book offers a step-by-step approach to lab test interpretation, ideal for learners who are unsure of the next step in the evaluation of an abnormal lab test.
Step 1... Step 2... Step 3... These are step-by-step approaches not available elsewhere.
Along with these unique approaches are hundreds of differential diagnoses, tables, boxes, and algorithms, all designed to answer your lab test questions in a flash. This concise, organized guide fits easily in a coat pocket, providing you with the tools necessary to tackle even the most challenging lab tests.
Widely used by physician assistant programs, including University of Iowa, Nova Southeastern University, Seton Hill University, and University of the Cumberlands, you will find this book invaluable in helping PA students transition from classroom to the clinical setting.
