History

Located in the southern part of Isfahan, the university was established in 1946 under the name "The Higher Institute of Health"and later was elevated to the "School of Medicine". The decision to establish the university was rooted in an idea developed by a number of doctors at Amin Hospital in 1939. Finally, the hospital's board of directors approved a plan to establish The Isfahan Higher Institute of Health in 1946. In September of the same year, an ad signed by lecturer Dr. Jelveh, then caretaker of Isfahan Province Health and Medical Treatment Department, was published in local newspapers calling on prospective students to enroll in the new institute.

The first classes were held at old Sa'di High School (now Soureh Institute). Many more students enrolled in subsequent years. Therefore, the institute had to find a larger campus to accommodate the growing number of new students.As a Result, the Isfahan University was founded to accommodate these students and establish new faculties.

On October 29, 1950, the first series of classes were held at the new campus, named University of Isfahan .The newly established school of Medicine at sa'di school and Literature College on Shahzadeh Ebrahim Street joined University of Isfahan and relocated themselves in the main campus . The university later offered programs in human sciences, engineering and medical sciences. Related programs of medical sciences, although were the parent programs of Isfahan University, were then separated from the University of Isfahan and became an independent university named Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS) in 1985. With 12 hospitals and 35 departments, the university is currently a regional health care provider and the main medical center in Isfahan Province and central Iran.
