Evolution and innovation packages in medical science education are the main program of medical education and it is necessary to pay attention to the provision of infrastructure of their implementation. This study was conducted to identify effective strategies for optimal implementation of evolution and innovation packages in medical education.

The method used in this research is thematic analysis. In this study, all key informed individuals involved in the implementation of evolution and innovation packages in medical education were considered as the target population and the sampling was performed using bullet technique. Data were analyzed using Maxqda 10 software. Participatory review method and review of non-participating experts were used in order to obtain validity and reliability of data.

9 main categories, namely implementation measures of evolution packages, measures at the structural level, policy measures, environmental measures, managerial measures, motivational measures, measures related to capabilities and occupation, measures in the field of culture, and measures in the area of leadership were identified according to the results of the qualitative study.

Presenting effective strategies for the optimal implementation of evolution and innovation packages in universities can have positive consequences in the improvement of the quality of medical education. The most important issues for implementation include serious attention of the authorities to the implementation of the packages, the involvement of all university staff, and the management stability in the optimal implementation of the packages.

Managers and experts training is one of the areas of creation and development infrastructure of passive defense in health system organizations including hospitals. This study was conducted to assess the educational needs of disaster management committee members in Iranian public hospitals for passive defense.

This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018. The study environment population was hospitals covered by medical universities  that were randomly selected based territorial preparation  and study population was disaster management committee members  that were selected as a census. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire including two parts of individual variables, and 15 closed-ended questions for passive defense. The data were analyzed by SPSS 23 software.

Of the 410 members of the hospital crisis and disaster management committee who were studied, the need for education in all subjects was above average. The mean of total educational needs was 3.95±0.79. The highest level of need (4.17±0.9) for non-structural safety assessment and the lowest level of need (3.70±1.2)  for soft defense. Managers and experts in Lorestan University of Medical Sciences declared the highest need (4.25±0.6) and in Esfarain Medical School the lowest need (3.34±1.2). There was a significant relationship between total educational needs and gender, field of study, unit of work and occupation (p<0.05).

This study showed that most of managers and experts need to be trained on passive defense issues. Therefore, it is suggested that educational interventions be designed and implemented.

The residency or specialization course in post-graduate medical education in Iran includes 3-5 years depends on different specialization. To be promoted to a higher year, assistants must earn the minimum score specified for their interdepartmental exams and annual national examinations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive validity of these exams in academic promotion of assistants and 90.7% of passed assistants and 16% of failed assistants were correctly classified.

This cross-sectional analytical study was done in medical schools of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 1397-1398. The study population included all assistants who had started their residency course in 1394. 120 participants were randomly selected. Data collection tools included checklist, system for recording the educational activities of assistants (logbook), the results of OSCE and MCQ (multiple choice questionnaire) exams. Participants' different exams results were evaluated longitudinally over 4 years. Data analysis was done by SPSS version 11.5 and logistic regression model was used.

The applied model (prediction of academic promotion of assistants based on predictive variables including professional ethics, log books, new evaluation methods, OSCE and MCQ exams) was a complete and a significantly reliable model (p≤ 0.01, df=6 ، Chi-square=46.43). This model was able to predict 11-22% of the variance of the educational promotion of assistants. The results of the analysis showed that among the predictor variables, only interdepartmental exams and yearly MCQ exams had a significant relationship with the passed or failed status of assistants.

Adequate education, employment of experienced faculty members and design and implement structured exams with acceptable validity and reliability will be an effective step in improving the quality of exams and useful evaluation of clinical and practical skills of assistants.

In order to evaluate the performance of teaching hospitals, the patterns of accreditation system as one of the most important packages of transformation and innovation plan in medical education, considered by the Ministry of Health. One of the serious challenges of the educational accreditation program is the use of a same standard set to evaluate the educational programs of the educational-medical centers. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a comprehensive program for evaluating performance of educational system as results of evaluation and educational accreditation of Dr. Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Babol.

This quasi –experimental study was performed in Shahid Beheshti hospital in Babol in 1397. A comprehensive program for evaluating performance of educational system was developed by accreditation team through the method of brainstorming and reviewing texts. The program was piloted for six months. The evaluation results of the years of 1397 and 1398 were extracted from the countrychr('39')s accreditation system and compared with our data.

The score obtained before and after the intervention was 242 points and 445 points, respectively. The results showed that the most effect of the comprehensive program in the domain of monitoring and evaluating the performance of the educational system (86.1%) and the least effect was seen in the field of clinical research (44.48%).

Due to the significant increase in points obtained from the evaluation in 1397 compared to the past and improving the educational status of the center, as well as the high satisfaction of the executive management team, it is suggested that a comprehensive program to evaluate the performance of the educational system as a model for the principled and effective implementation of accreditation used in other centers.
