The National Commission on Allied Health Education (NCAHE) was formed in 1977 to make recommendations on allied health education for the 1980s. The objective of this research was to assess the importance and priority of NCAHE recommendations for the dietetic profession. The sample included national and state governance groups, directors of dietetic education programs, and some practitioners. The recommendation regarding legislative activities for support of allied health education was rated as the "most essential and urgent" recommendation. Data suggest concurrence in the profession on the most essential issues. (author)
