Selection and appointment of presidents of medical universities in Iran: Bridging reality and ideal through global and local evidence
During various selection and appointment periods, political changes and pressure groups' interests have had a significant impact on the management changes in universities, and with governments' changes, managerial capabilities are overshadowed by political tendencies. This study's findings underscore the importance of transparency, evidence-based decision-making, and a systematic approach to the selection and appointment of presidents of medical universities. Implementing these insights can enhance the integrity of the selection process and improve governance in medical education in Iran.
