History and Overview of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences

Administrative Building of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences

=20

Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) was established in 1946 as
the Behdari Higher Health Education Center (also known as Amouzeshgah-e
Alee Behdariye Shiraz) to educate medical experts within four years. In
1949, the facility developed into a medical school which was later
governed by Shiraz University-formerly known as Pahlavi University- in
1954. Seven other schools, including the School of Nursing and
Midwifery, the School of Dentistry, the School of Nutrition and Food
Sciences, the School of Health, the School of Paramedical Sciences, the
School of Pharmacy, and the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, were
also established in Shiraz
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18301/Discovering-Shiraz>  within a
brief period to train students in various fields allied to medicine.

=20

Complying with Iran=E2=80=99s policy and following the establishment of =
the
Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education, all medical
schools and related disciplines were separated from the Ministry of
Sciences, and they began operating under the supervision of the newly
established ministry. Therefore, these schools changed into new
entities and formed independent medical universities in each province.
Consequently, the School of Medicine and the other abovementioned
schools at Shiraz University created Fars University of Medical
Sciences in 1994. In that time, Fars University of Medical Sciences was
the only medical school in Fars province and was in charge of providing
medical education and healthcare services in public facilities, as well
as supervising private healthcare providers throughout Fars province;
therefore, following the establishment of other medical schools * in
this province, Fars University of Medical Sciences was renamed Shiraz
University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), which is still operating under
this name. SUMS currently comprises 17 schools, 55 research centers,
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18719/Research-at-SUMS>  6 incubators
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18833/Incubators-and-Accelerators> ,
45 public hospitals
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18752/Health-Care-System-at-SUMS>
(including 14 teaching hospitals
<http://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18752/Health-Care-System-at-SUMS> ), 2
community health centers in Shiraz
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18752/Health-Care-System-at-SUMS>  **
, 28 health networks
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18752/Health-Care-System-at-SUMS>
*** throughout Fars province. 17 private hospitals
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18752/Health-Care-System-at-SUMS>
(including 3 charity hospitals
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/page/18752/Health-Care-System-at-SUMS> ) in
Shiraz are also providing services under the supervision of SUMS.

SUMS is famed for its transformative learning experiences and
distinctive learning environment for undergraduate and graduate
students partly due to its diversity of programs
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/UniversityStudy/18422/Programs-A-Z> ,
including 51 master=E2=80=99s
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/UniversityStudy/18459/Master-s> , 39 Ph.D.
<https://gsia.sums.ac.ir/en/UniversityStudy/18429/Ph-D->  by coursework

as a tentative list of academic short-term training

interests, the SUMS community encompasses approximately 900 permanent
faculty members, 35,000 staff members, and 10,000 students, residents,
and fellows.
