RESUMO
A longitudinal follow-up study was conducted of 196 graduates of allied health education and administration programs in Texas. The study assessed the graduates' continued presence as educators and their career patterns, experiences related to teaching, research, service, administrative leadership, job satisfaction, and perceived continuing education needs. The conclusions drawn from the results of the study were that the graduates are instructional and administrative resources for colleges, universities, and hospitals located in Texas and 23 other states; have exemplary records related to teaching, research, service, and other faculty activities; and are generally satisfied with their current employment. Application of computer technology was the most frequently cited continuing education need of the graduates.

Since 1972, Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Houston and Texas A&M University have jointly offered a graduate Program in Allied Health Teacher Education and Administration. The purpose of the program is to prepare faculty and administrative leaders for allied health education programs. As of December 1978, a total of 94 allied health professionals had completed master's or doctoral degrees and most of them are currently pursuing academic careers. This article describes the results of a follow-up study of these graduates to determine their current activities, locations and job satisfaction and to make decisions regarding the success of the program in raching its goals.
