The Secretariat of International Quality Assurance and Accreditation Network (IQAAN) of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) has decided to study all the existing accreditation bodies in the field of higher education in Europe in order to publish a bilingual handbook to facilitate the process of accreditation for universities all over the world. The data of each accreditation body will include its country of foundation, the year of foundation, the recognition of the accreditation body, the types of accreditation it grants, the universities it has accredited so far, etc.
Following this decision, IQAAN is determined to receive a programmatic accreditation certificate for programs such as nursing and midwifery, doctor of medicine and dentistry programs from a highly recognized accreditation body. As a result, contacts have been made as the primary steps of fulfilling this goal.
IQAAN hopes to further develop its activities regarding international accreditation and quality assurance.
