Shiraz Faculty of Medicine was officially inaugurated in 1952.1 Indeed, it replaced the former "Medical Auxiliary Training School" (Amouzeshgah-e Alee Behdari Shiraz) that was founded in 1946. The school was intended to run a four-year course, the so-called Behdar training. The graduates of the Medical Auxiliary Training School were allowed to work only in small areas with population of less than 10,000. They had to pass a final exam after their four-year training. The graduates could also continue their medical education at medical school after practicing few years in selected areas, to become a licensed physician. Therefore, the Medical Auxiliary Training School in Shiraz can be considered as the forerunner of the Faculty of Medicine at Shiraz University. The present article provides a brief history of the establishment of Medical Auxiliary Training School of Shiraz.
