Bissonette indicates that "One of the taunted unknowns surrounding the issue of specialty PA's and the certification mechanism for surgical PA's has been the question of actual numbers requiring certification. Now is the time to stand up and be counted or forever hold your peace in oblivion." %[ 2018-03-16 %9 Correspondence %~ MEDSpace %W Duke Medicine
