The first classes were held at the old Sa'di High School (now the Soureh Institute). On October 29, 1950, the first series of classes were held at the new campus, named the University of Isfahan. The school was founded in 1946 as part of the University of Isfahan, initially offering a general physician program. Over the decades the university began offering programs in human sciences, engineering and medical sciences. In 1985, following the reorganization of Iran's higher medical education system, it became an independent entity under the newly established Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. With 12 hospitals and 75 departments, the university is a regional health care provider and the main medical center in Isfahan Province and central Iran.
