Material and Methods: A total of 300 pediatrics physical therapists including general practitioners, specialists, consultant and managers from both sexes participated in this study. Subjects from both sexes participated in this study. PPTCV self-assessment questionnaire was used to assess the levels of professionalism among all professional categories. The survey was carried out in personal focus groups paper-based format (n=75) and online Google form (n=225). Results: The results of this study indicated that all pro-fessional categories revealed very high scores of core values of the PPTCV which reflect an eminent degree of profession-alism which was concomitant with considerable variability between different professional categories. Conclusion: Overall levels of professionalism among practicing Egyptian pediatrics physical therapists were high especially in accountability values.
