Preparing for tomorrow
Enhancing histology education
From policy to practice and vice versa
Background Global progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is severely off track. Iran hosts the world’s largest migrant and refugee population, but sanctions, inflation, and workforce migration have strained its capacity. Since the attitudes of service providers influence whether inclusive policies are translated into practice, this study explores frontline staff perspectives on access to public health services for non-citizens i…
Adapting amidst adversity
Introduction Resilience in the face of educational barriers refers to faculty members’ ability to effectively navigate, overcome, and adapt to challenges encountered in the educational environment. These challenges may include curriculum changes, transitions to online instruction, resource limitations, or disruptions caused by external factors, such as a pandemic. This study aims to explore the relationship between medical educators’ attitudes to…
From classroom to screen
Introduction Following the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, most universities around the world transitioned from in-person classrooms to online learning methods. This study aimed to explore the initial experiences of medical students with e-learning during the pandemic at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Iran, as well as to identify differences in students’ general perceptions based on their demographic characteristics. Metho…
Putting the pieces together
The present research was conducted to compare the effects of two methods of traditional lecture and Jigsaw Cooperative Learning on the students’ knowledge, performance, and satisfaction. This quasi-experimental study was done on 50 public health students, who had been chosen through available sampling. The performance and satisfaction of students was measured through two researcher-made 80 and 18-item questionnaires after receiving the training. …
Health equity and system resilience during crises – ensuring healthcare for refugees based on lessons from Iran’s response to the 2021 Afghan migration
Although the public health network rapidly expanded service delivery, maintaining proportional coverage for full services proved challenging, particularly for vulnerable groups. Even established health systems with decades of experience in serving displaced populations may face transient coverage shortfalls amid demand surges compounded by pandemic-related strain. Strengthening public health emergency management through targeted resource allocati…
Learning styles vs. virtual education preferences
E-students sometimes feel isolated due to the lack of face-to-face communication with teachers. It is important to pay attention to students’ learning styles and the virtual education methods used by teachers. This study aimed to investigate the preferences of students at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) regarding virtual education and their learning styles. A descriptive survey research was conducted on postgraduate e-students in 201…
Which educational messengers do medical students prefer for receiving healthinformation? Development and psychometrics of using health messengers questionnaire
Medical students are always on the move and naturally prioritize mobile-based methods. They prefer messengers that are free from time and space restrictions. The widespread availability of mobile devices and the ability to search for and access information make it easier to test health information. Therefore, in health policy, attention should be paid to the virtual capabilities, especially mobile-based approaches
Royal Gardens in Republican Iran
In 1925, the rise of Reza Shah Pahlavi’s regime led to the deliberate destruction of Qajar gardens (1785 to 1925), most of which were converted into military bases. A limited number, such as the Golestan Palace Garden, were partly preserved. However, there had been mass destruction of ‘unsolicited’ and ‘outdated’ buildings by the Qajars and the denigration of religious rituals. Following the fall of the monarchy and establishment of the Islamic R…
