Under the auspices of the Kentucky Council on Higher Education, and with the aim of delineating issues in allied health education and making recommendations for alleviating the issues, an indepth, two-year study was completed in 1975. The primary recommendations pertained to the development of a statewide plan for allied health education that would result in an articulated statewide system permitting entry and exit of prepared personnel at a variety of levels and improving inter-institutional efforts to share educational resources. In the following four years a foundation was laid for developing the system. An articulated system of allied health education was developed in six disciplinary clusters to serve as a model for other states: clinical laboratory, dental auxiliaries, dietetics/nutrition, rehabilitation therapies, radiological science, and respiratory therapy programs. All levels of programs within each discipline cluster existing in Kentucky are included in the system. The study includes a design phase and an implementation phase. During the design phase, six discipline advisory groups developed articulation models for the programs in each discipline. Implementation phase accomplishments include signed transfer agreements, development of model and core curricula, design for graduate follow-up, publications, development of manpower models, and increased cooperation among project participants.
在肯塔基州高等教育委员会的支持下，为了明确联合健康职业教育中的问题并提出缓解这些问题的建议，于1975年完成了一项为期两年的深入研究。主要建议涉及制定一项全州联合健康职业教育计划，该计划将形成一个明确的全州系统，允许不同层次的合格人员进入和退出，并加强机构间共享教育资源的努力。在随后的四年里，为建立该系统奠定了基础。在六个学科领域开发了一个联合健康职业教育系统，作为其他州的典范：临床实验室、牙科辅助、饮食学/营养学、康复治疗、放射科学和呼吸治疗项目。肯塔基州每个学科领域内的各级项目都纳入了该系统。该研究包括一个设计阶段和一个实施阶段。在设计阶段，六个学科咨询小组为每个学科的项目制定了衔接模式。实施阶段的成果包括签署转学协议、制定示范和核心课程、设计毕业生跟踪系统、出版刊物、制定人力模式以及项目参与者之间加强合作。
