History
The Foundation of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences dates back to about 70 years ago when Shiraz Institute of Higher Health Education admitted a few medical students (1945). The High Institute of Health developed into Medical Faculty in 1949. The medical school is located in central Shiraz, which was founded in 1949 as a college within Pahlavi University. In 1953, a Faculty of Nursing was added, followed by a Faculty of Dentistry in 1969. After the 1979 Islamic Revolution overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty, drastic changes were implemented at all universities. The name of Pahlavi University was immediately changed to Shiraz University. In 1986, the Iranian Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education took over the departments and faculties in the medical sciences and SUMS became an independent institution.
