History of Tehran University of Medical Sciences
The first modern center of medical training in Iran was founded in 1851. It was a part of the Institute of Higher Education (Dar-Ol-Fonoon). When Dar-Ol-Fonoon was founded in 1894, dentistry was taught as a sub-branch of medicine at the same school. When university of Tehran was established in 1934, dentistry was separated as an independent school. In 1985, medical schools and departments associated with medical fields were separated from the Ministry of Higher Education and were administered by the Ministry of Higher Education. Since 1986, all those schools affiliated with university of Tehran in medical fields have carried on their activities independently under the title of “Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services” (TUMS).
