Articulation in Allied Health Education. The North Carolina Experience. Health Manpower References.
Boatman, Ralph H.; Huther, John W.
The North Carolina project reviewed here was conducted to develop procedures to enable an individual to transfer credit from an allied health education program in one setting to some program in higher education. Chapter 1 reviews barriers to educational mobility and presents an overview of the project, which identified specific problems that affect transfer of credit and proposed solutions in the form of guidelines. Transfer policies or articulation agreements are discussed in chapter 2, and basic questions such agreements attempt to address are identified. Relevant characteristics of higher education in North Carolina are described in the third chapter. The process of bringing educators together to discuss transfer and allied health curriculum problems is described in chapter 4. Chapter 5 presents the development of allied health education, identifies pathways to professional status in allied health, and describes three curriculum models. The evolving nature of ten allied health disciplines involved in the articulation project are presented in chapter 6 along with the present status of each. Problems and the recommended guidelines related to the transfer of credit are listed in chapter 7, and chapter 8 describes events which have occurred as a result of the articulation project, identifying continuing related problems.
