title: Physician assistants come of age in New Jersey.
abstract: Until recently, New Jerseyans' exposure to physician assistants (PAs) was through television programs such as "E.R." But with the 1992 legislation enabling PAs to work in New Jersey and a growing acceptance among physicians, patients are seeing more of these health care providers in the examining room.
