It represents the results ofa survey of such programs conducted by the American HospitalAssociation (AHA) under a 1972 contract (No. MI- 24315) with the Bureau of Health Resources Development!' A companion directory,Allied Health Educa- tion Programs in Junior and Senior Colleges, 1973,is now being developed by the Bureau. Together, these two directories will providethe most comprehensive guide to allied health training programs currently available. This publication was prepared in BHRD's Resource AnalysisStaff, Howard V. Stambler, Chief, under the direction of DavidOhaneson, Project Officer of the AHA contract. Bernard Ferber, Sc.D.,former Director of Research Services, American Hospital Association,was the Project Director for the contract. Lorraine Richter, Director,Division of Survey Research; Andrew Korsak, Research Assistant; andother members of the AHA staff are to be thanked for their effortsin conducting the survey and in developing the directory. Both the AHA and BHRD also wish to thank the responding hospitals, without whose help thisdirectory could not have been developed. The work on the survey was initiated in the Division of Manpower Intelligence which was a component of the Bureau of Health Resources Development (BHRD) until March 1, 1974 when it was dissolved in conjunction with the reorganization of the Bureau. iii A CONTENTS PREFACE INTRODUCTION SURVEY METHODOLOGY I.
