The writer concludes that these professions, although not commonly considered in society, will play an important role in meeting social, scientific and security needs well into this century.

From the Paper:

"Yet, this increase in need has been supported by the fact that by 2010 there will exist the largest elderly population that the United States has ever known through the baby boomer generation. Over 71 million Americans will be age 65 or over and this population will tax the health care industry as never before.
"To accommodate this need the nursing profession is one that is becoming more specialized and that offers professional nurses an opportunity to manage patient cases, write prescriptions and supervise a health care team. This new nursing scope also addresses the decreased number of physicians in the nation, allowing nurses to be the primary medial authority in a patient's life. However, Medical Assistants have not had this type of focus, nor has their function within the health care community been defined as well for the public as other well understood professions."
