Abstract: (3387 Views)
Background & Objective: Meeting the health needs of the community is the main mission of the field of medical education. Accordingly, the program of transformation and innovation in medical education has been developed as a strategic policy in the field of education in the form of 11 operational packages. Therefore, this aimed at policy analysis of the education transformation plan in the Iranian health system.
Materials & Methods: This directed qualitative study was conducted using the Walt and Gilson model. Data were collected using three stages: literature review, analysis of relevant policy documents, and semi-structured interviews. All sources and texts of the interviews were coded and analyzed in the form of categories related to the dimensions of the policy model framework.
Results: A total of 15 articles and 73 documents met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis in the present study. According to the analysis, 248 concepts were extracted, which resulted in 73 subclasses, 11 main subclasses, and 3 main classes after merging common concepts. The main categories included requirements of implementation, legislation, policymaking, and infrastructure management.
Conclusion: The implementation of the transformation and innovation program in the field of health system education requires paying attention to the political, legal, economic, social, and international factors as well as the existing problems. In addition, the proper implementation of this program requires the participation of internal and external stakeholders in the stages of policy-making, implementation, and evaluation.
