The practice and study of medicine in Persia has a long and prolific history. The ancient
Iranian medicine was combined by different medical traditions from Mesqpotamia, Egypt,
India, China and Greece for more than 4000 years and merged to form what became the
nucleus and foundation of medical practice in the European countries in the 13th century. The
Iranian academic centers like Jundishapur University (3rd century AD) were a breeding ground
for the union among great scientists from different civilizations. These centers successfully
followed their predecessorsי theories and greatly extended their scientific research through
history. Iranian physicians during the glorious Islamic civilization had a tremendous share in
the progress of medical sciences. The excellent clinical observations and physical examinations
and writings ofIranian scientists such as Rhazes (Al-Razi, 865-925 AD), Haly Abbas (Ali ibnal
Abbas-al Majusi, died 994 AD), Avicenna (Abou Ali Sina, 980-1037) and Jurjan (Osmail
ibn al-Husayn al-Jurjani, 110AD) influenced all fields of medicine The new era of medicine in
Iran begins with establishment ofDar-ul-funoon in 1851, which was the only center for modem
medical education before the establishment of Tehran University. Following the establishment
of the Tehran university school of medicine in 1934 and the return ofIranian graduates from
the medical schools in Europe, much progress was made in the development and availability
of trained manpower and specialized faculties in medicine. After the Islamic revolution by
the growing spirit of independence inspired by the Iranian government the number of medical
schools and medical students increased more than 10 times. For the 1st time in recent modem
history the Iranian medical universities started to offer post-graduate specialized degrees in
basic, clinical and engineering sciences
