This study refined an existing Allied Health Career Attitude Scale (AHCAS) and measured the attitudes of a nationwide sample of students in medical record administration and medical technology. A survey of seniors enrolled in 35 medical record administration and 37 medical technology programs was conducted with 756 usable student responses. The 39-item questionnaire was used to measure the satisfaction of seniors with their career choice, motivation to participate in professional organizations, and career outlook. On the total scale, scores of medical record administration students were significantly more positive. No significant difference was found between groups on the subscale measuring satisfaction with career choice. Medical record administration seniors were significantly more positive on the subscale measuring motivation to participate in professional organizations and the subscale measuring career outlook. The paper contains various interpretations of these findings with suggestions for the use of the scale by allied health educators.
