Business education has been booming in China due to the increasing demand of business graduates since China's economic reform. Chinese health care professionals are eager for business education to improve their competencies. The purpose of the study was to investigate the determinants of a successful health care management program for Chinese health care professionals. In-depth personal interview was applied in the study. There were 40 Chinese health care professionals that participated in the study in Guangzhou City China. They came from five local hospitals. The findings indicated that the Chinese health care professionals considered some health care management program attributes to be more important than other health care management program attributes. The study indicated that the flexible and practice-oriented health care management programs which are accredited by Chinese education authorities and provided by reputable schools were welcomed by the Chinese health care professionals.
