Deputy for Education

Introduction: Since the establishment of the School of Public Health in June 1966 up to April 1981, any educational, research and administrative-financial affairs were managed by the deputy head of school. During this period the Deputy for Education and Student-Related Affairs was responsible to carry out the educational arrangements including educational programing and welfare services for students at all levels. The Deputy for Education of the school was started following the establishment of the main departments in April 1981. Since then, Dr. Mesdaghi-Nia, Dr. Javadian, Dr. Keshavarz, Dr. Jazayeri, Dr. Akbari-Sari, and Dr. Rezaie have worked as deputy head of the school.

Furthermore, the merging of Tehran University of Medical Sciences with Iran University of Medical Sciences also contributed to significant increase in the number of enrolled students to the university. Despite such impressive developments, the Deputy for Education along with its expert and receptive personnel has been meeting much of the administrative demands of the university. With the increasing number of students, the school has managed to offer new fields of study such as Health Policy, Health Economics, Disaster & Emergency Health at Ph.D levels, Health Technology Assessment, Food Microbiology, Food Health and Safety and Ergonomic at M.Sc. levels, and Occupational Health Engineering with Environmental Health Engineering fields at B.Sc. and many various sub-fields of MPH modular programs.
