The history of Shiraz University School of
Medicine (the former Pahlavi University School of
Medicine) is important if we are to understand the
development of medical education in Iran during the
ze" century. This medical school took a unique path
to its development including full-time faculty
members, use of English as its institutional
language, and emphasis on self learning. However,
the most important of all is that it applied scientific
method and modern knowledge to the problems of
Iran and that it emphasized the importance of
relevance of medical education to the problems of
the region.
This article summarizes the foundation and
process of development of this school, emphasizing
its unique features. This is not the history of
individuals who were critical to its development. Nor
a history of structures and buildings. Rather, it is
the story of its intellectual development, and its
process of change as the University became
relevant.
