He added that 54% of the specialty and 60% of subspecialty ranks had been taken by TUMS graduates in 2011 and more than 100 educational development projects were running in the University.
On achieving 42% of the positions among top research centers of Iran, he said the University had gained the first rank in research among medical universities in Iran for the 9th year in a row.
Chancellor Larijani also informed about the completion of the building of the largest medical sciences library, 10000 square meters, in the University to help researchers and educators more easily access scholarly material.
Later, the Minister of Health congratulated the graduates who had passed this year’s board exams and heads of wards, departments and research centers of the university.

Comparing the scientific output of universities, the Minister said the University was a model for other similar universities. She added that the Ministry’s approach was the health of all Iranians which has been defined as an essential need in the constitution.
Dr. Vahid-dastjerdi said 25% of the responsibility for the Iranians was for the Ministry of Health, 50% of health indices were related to social health and the remaining 25% were related to genetic, biologic and environmental factors. She concluded that health expenditure was not a cost but an investment and research in the past 100—125 years had shown that health had a direct relationship with financial prosperity but a reverse relationship was not possible.
