Here's a link to a story done by Tim Johnson MD, medical editor for ABC World News with Charlie Gibson  This is the first time I have heard him refer to NPs and PAs.  He has given us credit in helping to improve access to primary care providers as well as equate our patient care with physicians. 

Take a look: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=7300173&page=1 If you don't have 3 1/2 minutes to watch, the references to PAs and NPs are at -1:49 and -0:15.  You should be able to move the slider to those times to listen.

For those of you wishing to provide feedback to the World News team: http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3271346&cat=World%20News%20with%20Charles%20Gibson
