台灣的醫療產業具備世界級水準軟硬體設施、核心技術、精緻治療、醫療品質高、醫療費用合理，更由於醫學系是許多頂尖學生的首選，專業人才濟濟。幾十年來累計的能量，不僅是台灣最大的資產，也成就了醫療產業之優勢。公部門已著手進行台灣發展觀光醫療的佈局，未來將更積極地以跨部會方式進行「醫療服務國際化的旗艦計畫」，發展台灣醫療服務國際化，而觀光醫療即為其中很大的一環。本研究觀光醫療產業人才培育課程規劃之探討，主要採取相關文獻蒐集，以及針對從事觀光醫療之機構組織相關專家、業主進行深度訪談及焦點座談方式，綜合以上之質性研究方法進行細部分析與說明。台灣的醫療水準及品質已有國際的標準，但是在觀光醫療領域裡，人才培育與課程規劃仍不完善，所以本研究目的希望能規劃觀光醫療產業課程初步的雛形，以供產官學界參考，作為日後建立觀光醫療人才培育證照發展之基礎。
