During the first five semesters (Basic Science Phase), MD & MBBS Students study in English in separate classrooms, led by esteemed professors of international renown. Upon successful completion of the comprehensive basic science exam, they transition to the clinical phase,

which includes Pathophysiology (2 semesters), clerkship (24 months), and Internship (18 months). During this time, students participate in theoretical classes and rotations across different hospital wards renowned as the scientific hub of our nation.

They work alongside Iranian students, engaging in patient examinations and treatment under the guidance of eminent scientists, professors, surgeons, and specialists. Exposure to thousands of unique cases enhances their proficiency and expertise in medicine.

In the basic sciences phase, education and exams are conducted in English. During the Pathophysiology phase, instruction is given in Persian, with exams being optional. In the clerkship and Internship phases, both instruction and exams are conducted in Persian.

As students engage in hospital rotations as Stagers and Interns, they communicate with patients in their native language, underscoring the importance of learning Farsi. In the School of Medicine, students pursue two distinct levels of study: MD and MBBS.

*The primary difference between these levels is the Internship requirement, which is mandatory for MD students but not for MBBS students.

*To obtain an MBBS degree, students must successfully complete the final assessment exit exam and the professional qualification practical (OSCE) exam. take thesis is also mandatory.

Following the completion of the pathophysiology and clerkship phases, MD students undergo the comprehensive pre-internship exam. Successful candidates proceed to the Internship phase, spanning 18 consecutive months.
