本文的目的在於介紹臺灣正式教育體系內之醫管人才培育現況與未來，嘗試將醫務管理人才培育予以分期，並探討醫療照護、及教育政策等對醫管人才培育走向之影響。經由文獻回顧、網際網路蒐尋、及專家訪談等方式，廣泛蒐集有關於教育政策、醫療衛生政策對醫務管理人力供給之影響，並輔以重要醫療資源指標佐證本研究結果。臺灣醫務管理教育始於1965年，現行醫務管理人力培育主要由13所屬教育部技術與職業教育體系之技術學院、科技大學，與10所屬教育部高等教育體系之獨立學院、綜合大學共同培育，所授予之學位有專科、學士、碩士及哲學博士等四類，截至2001年累計培育16,745位醫管人力。臺灣由光復後至今的醫務管理教育分為五個時期：荒原期(1945∼1971年)、萌芽期(1972∼1985年)、成長期(1986∼1994年)、擴張期(1995∼2001年)及轉型期(2002年至今)。而醫管人才培育體系由早期的技職體系，擴及高等教育體系，辦理醫管教育學校數由1965年的1所擴張到現今的23所，頒授的學位有專科、學士、碩士及哲學博士等四類臺灣醫務管理教育體系至今可謂發展完臻，惟錯綜複雜的教育學制，及大量擴張的結果，使醫管教育面臨許多問題，如人才培育過剩…等等。此刻，醫管教育者應思考如何克服目前問題，並將醫務管理教育重新整合、定位與轉型，始能有足夠的能力因應醫療產業環境的迅速變動與醫療政策的快速發展。

　　　　　This article describes the current status and future planning of health care administration staff development in the formal education system of Taiwan. It also traces the different stages of development in the education of health care administration staff and examines the impact of national health care and education policies on the health care staff formation through a comprehensive review of the previous literature, internet website search, and expert consultation. There are five stages of development in the history of health care staff formation, namely beginning (1945-1971), developing (1972-1985), maturing (1986-1994), expanding (1995-2001), and transforming (2002 onward). In the early stages of development, health care staff formation was mainly offered by vocational and technical schools, while at present there are 23 colleges forming junior college graduates specialized in health care administration and conferring bachelor, master and doctoral degrees in health care administration. To date, the development program for health care administration personnel is well developed. However, the complex and rapidly expanding education system has led to problems such as excess of manpower. Efforts should be made to overcome the present problems, and to integrate and reform the health care staff development program in order to meet the ever changing needs of the health care environment and the newly formulated health care policies
