Abstract
Introduction: Medical education has special features compared to other educations due to its relationship with public health, and one of the main solutions to improve the quality of education in medical groups is educational accreditation. Therefore the purpose of this study is to identify and rank the effective factors for proper accreditation in the University of Medical Sciences in order to improve the quality of medical education. Methods: The research method was qualitative and data collection was library-field. The statistical sample consisted of 25 experts in related fields who were selected by purposive sampling. Then the dimensions and components extracted from the sources were finalized using the Delphi method and the panel of experts. Results: After performing three Delphi rounds, the results showed that the dimensions and components affecting accreditation include: University goals (4 components), management (4 components), educating staff (4 components), learners (5 components), organizational structure (5 components), organizational citizenship (3 components), human resources (4 components), financial management (6 components), compulsory educational space (4 components), information technology (3 components), services and facilities (3 components), learning resources (4 components), teaching-learning process (3 components), clinical and clinic education (12 components), research services (4 components), cultural programs (3 components), innovation and entrepreneurship (3 components), international cooperation (3 components), Evaluation and quality assurance (6 components) and validation (10 components). Conclusion: Considering the joint presentation of medical education with the medical services system and not paying attention to the components of clinical and hospital education, Review of standards and indicators is necessary in order to establish an accreditation system in medical universities
