Introduction: Shahid Motahari Annual Educational Festival
aims to improve the quality of medical education in the Islamic
Republic of Iran, and has held since 2008. The present study was
performed to determine the satisfaction level of Iranian medical
universities’ faculty members about holding Shahid Motahari
Annual Educational Festival during the past six years, from 2008
to 2014.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 473 faculty
members (FMs) including deputies and educational administrators,
managers, and faculty members of medical education development
centers, members of scientific committees, and faculty members
who participated in Shahid Motahari Festival from 42 medical
sciences universities in Iran. Data collection instruments were
two reliable and valid questionnaires on the background and also

development centers, 226 FMs (56.2%) members of scientific
committees, 29 FMs (6.1%) members of the national committees,
343 FMs (27.5%) attendees, and 264 FMs (55.8%) had participated
