Abstract:
In order to investigate the path of medical education in Iran, indicators of medical education were searched from 1970 to 1994. There have been rises in the number of educational institutions from 10 to 46; student admissions in programmes of medical sciences from 1387 to 18,141; medical student admissions from 632 to 3630; teaching staff from 1573 to 7979; and teaching-bed to student ratio from 1.05 to 2.08. The numbers of students in clinical specialty and MS degrees have increased, and various programmes in clinical sub-specialty and PhD degrees have been initiated. The quality of medical education has improved with increasing field and ambulatory care training, with more emphasis on teaching preventive medicine and a significant rise in the research activities. Most qualitative and quantitative progress has been achieved following the establishment of a joint Ministry of Health and Medical Education in 1985. The results of this review demonstrate the success of Iran in upgrading medical education by the unification of health services and medical education in one ministry.
