The 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. Effects 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.
