Dear Editor
As an educational roadmap, the curriculum is of utmost importance; moreover, due to its flexible and dynamic nature (1), it must be given serious attention and revised if necessary. The "Persian Literature" course, which is one of the essential general courses in the curriculum of all medical sciences, including medicine, is also the same as others requiring revision. This course (3 theoretical credits) has been taught in the universities of medical sciences for many years (2). It should be mentioned that the reference or references are not mostly new and they are not associated with the needs expected of a medical student; moreover, they are repetitive and boring since all medical students studied them when they were in high school. In addition, the scope of the course content is broad, and fewer practical references are taught. It seems that most of the students' preference is to just study to get a grade and pass the course. Some can assist the students continue their studies; however, the fact is that these contents and subjects are entangled with many other subjects, such as poems, anecdotes, stories, and grammar. Therefore, it is difficult for the student to distinguish its importance from other subjects, or the student will realize their necessity after completing the course.
