The Ministry of Health and Medical Education is responsible for policymaking, planning, leadership, stewardship, monitoring and evaluation of health services and also training and educating the healthcare workforce in a community-based health system, which comprises the country's healthcare structure.
Method: Library documents were reviewed and information and relevant data were collected.
Results: From 1979 to 2015, the number of medical, dental and pharmacy schools in Iran increased from 7 to 72, 3 to 19 and 3 to 21, respectively; the number of admissions to medical school increased from 1357 to 44040 during the aforementioned time period. Training courses , PhD and clinical sub-specialties were established after the revolution. Nowadays, admission to these disciplines  are 268 and 350 students, respectively.
