The history of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) dates back to December 18, 1946, when the Behdari Higher Health Education Center was established in Shiraz, Iran. It was followed by the launch of Shiraz Medical School in 1949, which later became a constituent school of Shiraz University in 1957. In June 1962, the university was renamed Pahlavi University. Upon the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the original name of Shiraz University was reinstated. In 1988, following the establishment of Iran's Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education, the University’s medical schools and associated disciplines were separated and restructured to form SUMS, which remains in operation to this day. Besides academic and research activities, SUMS is entrusted with the oversight of health system across Iran’s Fars province.
