Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences and Health Services is the first medical university founded after the Islamic Revolution in 1983. This was followed by the establishment of the Schools of Nursing and Midwifery and Paramedical Sciences. In 1994, following the national plan of merging medical schools into the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, the School of Medicine was officially transformed into Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences. As the University continued to expand, the Schools of Public Health and Dentistry were also established. Today, the University comprises seven vice-presidencies, 11 schools, 18 nationally recognized research centers, 13 university hospitals, and 10 district health networks. It serves approximately 6,000 students, of whom 12% are enrolled in postgraduate programs (M.Sc. and Ph.D.), while 6% are clinical residents and fellows pursuing specialty, subspecialty, and fellowship training programs.
