In attendance were the Vice Chancellor for International Affairs, the leader of the accreditation working group, the director of Besat Hospital, deputy hospital administrators, educational faculty, managers, and experts. During the discussion, the focus was on the significance of international students' fluency in both Persian and English for academic achievement and successful clinical engagements. It was proposed that language training programs and simulated clinical scenarios be developed to enhance students' readiness for clinical rotations and overcome current obstacles.

Another issue reviewed during the meeting was the need to improve some non-Iranian students' academic and skill levels in clinical courses. Officials emphasized that stricter criteria should be applied for the admission and assessment of these students' academic abilities. Additionally, proposals were made to assign specific officials to guide international students in educational groups and hospital departments and develop a structured program for retake examinations.

During another portion of the meeting, the focus was on the upcoming accreditation of the MBBS program and the necessity of preparedness throughout all departments for this assessment. It was revealed that the evaluation would be conducted on May 14 and 15 by evaluators appointed by the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education. Emphasis was placed on the importance of thorough reports, documenting educational programs in both Persian and English and uploading them to educational platforms. Recommendations were also provided to offer essential support to faculty members to improve the quality of education.

In conclusion, the necessity of upgrading the financial and equipment infrastructure of Besat Hospital and increasing interactions with international students was emphasized. Detailed planning to address the raised challenges and improve the quality of education and research at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences was among the priorities declared in this meeting.
