One of the important goals of this research is to; After the writing of medical topics by physicians and the spread of medical works in the Islamic era, what texts did students use in teaching therapeutic profession? And can we refer to a method or measure in teaching and learning in these textbooks, or have the medical works all had a specific content, design and format? Another important point is which works were considered among pharmacy and pharmacology students and what texts did the professors use to test the skills of medical students?

 The present research, by identifying important medical and historical sources and arranging and processing the data extracted from them, has described and analyzed the contents and in new researches and classical texts, has sought to identify the unknowns related to educational materials.

Ethical Considerations:

 In reference to texts and sources, honesty and trustworthiness have been observed.

 The findings of this study indicate that from the first centuries of the Islamic period, important works were considered by professors and students, some of which were translated texts that were pre-written for years or centuries or were written by the best physicians of that period.

 In the Islamic era (Golden Age) due to the importance and comprehensiveness of some medical works, these writings or translations were introduced as textbooks at different levels of education and because it was necessary for students to learn and master the topics discussed in them; Apart from using some methods in facilitating education, students in different fields of medicine were sometimes tested to know the skills of scholars based on specific texts.
