Despite the golden history of Iranian traditional medicine, there has been very pale presence in education, reconstruction, and studying this ancient science. Fortunately, the invaluable and constant efforts of those interested in Iranian-Islamic culture and civilization, in recent years have been fruitful and in 2006, the grounds for establishing the field of traditional medicine were founded and approved officially in the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. In 2008, the SBMU School of Traditional Medicine began admitting students at PhD level in three fields of “Traditional Medicine”, “Traditional Pharmacy”, and “Medical Ethics”.

The School of Traditional Medicine has been dedicated to high standards in research based education to provide evidence for traditional treatments based on traditional Iranian manuscripts.
