Abstract
This paper proposes the development of a website for the New Jersey Physican Assistant Students (NJPAS). An argument is made for the necessity of such a site, and the importance of the information it will offer, including information for the public, professional resources for students, and information on health issues.

From the Paper
"The development of the website "NJPAS.com" will be beneficial for both the Physician Assistant students and the working students. This website will serve as a platform for sharing the experiences and information of the members which will help the members to broaden their spectrum. This will also facilitate in meeting the long term objectives of these organizations i.e. to promote quality medical care to the general public by educating them about the medical care issues and by developing a more skilled and qualified medical care team of experts. This website will provide the physician assistants of New Jersey, professional support from each other which will help them to improve the quality of health care."
