Mashhad University of Medical Sciences

Mashhad University of Medical Sciences is a public medical university in Mashhad, Iran.

The history of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS) can be traced back to 1941, when the first four-year health college in the country was founded in Mashhad. The college's sole mission was to educate students and dispatch them to rural areas where access to medical care was desperately needed. In 1949, the college was upgraded to the Faculty of Medicine of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. This was a significant step forward in the development of medical education in the region. The new faculty offered a six-year medical program, and its graduates were the first doctors to be trained in Mashhad.

In 1986, the Faculty of Medicine was separated from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad and became an independent university, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. This was a reflection of the growing importance of medical education and research in Iran. Since its founding, MUMS has grown rapidly. Today, it is one of the largest and most prestigious medical universities in Iran. MUMS has made significant contributions to the development of medical education and research in Iran. Its faculty are highly qualified and experienced, and its graduates are highly sought-after by employers in Iran and around the world. MUMS is also a major center for medical research, and its researchers have made significant contributions to the field of medicine.

In addition to its academic and research activities, MUMS is also committed to providing quality healthcare to the people of Mashhad and the surrounding region. The university's teaching hospital provides a wide range of medical services to the public at affordable prices.
