The women were honored Dec. 3 in ceremonies conducted by the Rural Health Corporation of Luzerne County at the Wilkes- Barre General Hospital. Certificates were presented by Congressman Daniel J.

According to Dr. Saidman, the eight trainees were selected from among candidates who were registered nurses with at least three years of patient care experience. The objective was to provide these already experienced in- dividuals with a broader base of medical education in order to more actively assist the physician in providing medical services within present legal limits. It is hoped that the physician assistant will be able to com- plement - the physician to the point where the physician case load is lightened, allowing him more time to treat patients who are seriously ill and who require more physician time.
