Allied health community college students have not been characterized according to their intentions to pursue a health careers ladder. This paper describes an analysis of the demographic-biographic, cognitive, psychomotor, and affective profiles of 326 female second-year MLT students contrasted with their articulation interests. The articulation categories included AAS termination, delayed MT transfer, immediate MT transfer, and non-MT continuation. Chi-square analysis and analysis of variance revealed few statistical differences between such articulation interests and test outcomes. Results are interpreted and directions for future study are presented.
