Abstract: Some consequences of the Islamic Revolution in Iran on medical education were studied utilizing the Shiraz University School of Medicine. Of the 173 full-time faculty employed in 1978, 108 (63 percent) had left the university by the end of 1982, and 81 (47 percent) had left the country, aggravating the chronic shortage of medical personnel in Iran. Steps taken by the Iranian authorities to counteract these trends have not proven effective.
