Background In most developed countries, accreditation programs are implemented based on standards to evaluate and improve medical education. This study aims to evaluate the quality and quantity of the educational system in universities and faculties located in the sixth macro-region of Iran to improve the existing conditions according to society's expectations of higher education.
Methods In this study , by convergent-parallel approach, the effects of institutional accreditation in universities and faculties in the sixth macro-region were examined in 2019 based on the national accreditation project including 66 standards and 351 indicators in 8 areas. A field visit to educational-research facilities and a documentation study were conducted based on the eight areas. After collecting and reviewing the data, the accreditation results were presented.
Results Considering the educational-research facilities as well as the achievement of necessary and preferred standards, we saw a significant growth in medical universities and faculties in the region.
Conclusion Medical universities and faculties in the sixth macro-region should provide the necessary infrastructure to reach the optimal level in all necessary standards and improve the quality of medical education. In addition, familiarizing all university staff with the accreditation standards can help improve the quality of services.
