In 1975 134 men and 102 women entering 37 graduate health services administration programs voluntarily completed the merged form of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. This article describes the general pattern of mean scores on the basic interest scales for these alumni and discusses differences in interests by sex. The results indicate high alumni interest in areas related to the activities and functions of health services administrators. Implications for using this information for career planning when working with clients and recommendations for future research are discussed.
