the medical section of the MCHE
was incorporated into the MoH in 1985 (Shadpour,
2000). As a result of the nationwide restructuring
of higher education, the medical education section,
alongside treatment affairs, undergone
supervision of a new established authority called
Ministry of Health & Medical Education (MoHME).
In that year, all nursing schools affiliated to the
former MoH (non-university-affiliated schools)
and schools affiliated to the former MCHE were
integrated into the MoHME.
