Background: We aimed to explain the roadmap to supremacy in the country's medical universities. Expanding this path in all higher education institutes would improve supremacy. Methods: In this project, local competitive advantages and the strengths of medical universities were initially identified. Three methods were used for measuring and quantifying, as follows: determining the index based on total citations of the top ten researchers in each field and the ratio of these people to the top ten in the country, SciVal analysis, evaluation and internal evaluation of universities and institutions were used. Results: The data collected from the previous two stages during 2020-2021 led us to potential areas of differentiation. Strategic placement took place with an emphasis on the division of national duties and special missions, and we paid attention to the articulated diferentiated. All competitive advantages were classified into four levels (internal, weak, strong, and exclusive competitive advantage) based on characteristics such as infrastructure, capital and resources, access, reputation, staff, processes, and various functions of universities. The way of moving between the start point, and the destination was also done by formulating strategies. Conclusion: In formulating a strategic plan for achieving supremacy, a strategic timeline, a strategic roadmap, and a strategic plan were developed. Supremacy is a high goal for universities. However, universities must also consider other goals, such as: creating knowledge-based economic value addition, interdisciplinary development, social accountability, and the institutionalization of different levels of academic hubs in universities. In this path, identifying and encouraging talented individuals and making full use of their scientific capacities is also very important.

Background: This article sought to assess social disorder and respond to questions such as: Is “, social collapse”,an appropriate term to describe the situation in Iranian society facing various social problems? If this concept is not appropriate, then what is the appropriate concept? How should this situation be explained? Methods: This theoretical-analytical study collected data using the library research method. Results: According to our results, the concept of social collapse is an inaccurate and unscientific one. Basically because this concept cannot fully explain the status of the Iranian society. The proper concept to describe this term is”,social disorder”, . Unfortunately, Iran is faced with a gamut of disorders all of which are manifested in the various subsystems of the society,these situations generally stem from an ideological view towards Iranians and social culture, homogenizing cultural policies, institutional conflicts, liberalization of economic spheres and their inconsistency when compared with the logic inherent to other social spheres. The role foreign (international) bodies play in the emergence of such situations should not be ignored: and it should suffice that past few decades were testament to this issue which manifested in imposing various forms of sanctions against Iran by foreign bodies. Conclusion: Overcoming social disorders and creating balance in the social system requiresthe implementation of macro-level policy-making in various areas of the governing system.

Background: One of the new challenges confronting the Iranian health system is the growing reluctance to enter a specialty residency program. We sought to assess the causes of this problem Methods: In the year 2021, a qualitative study was done to assess theresidency entrance exam. Unstructured interviews were used to obtain data, anda grounded theory approach on general practitioners who hadprevious experience participating in residency exams were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding. Finally, the underlying theoretic model was developed. Results: Results revealed that participants in residency entrance exams are not appealing to the general practitioner. The intervening elements summarized in the three themes namely structural conditions, university dysfunction, and immigration issues. Our study revealedwidespread disappointment and indifference with regard to entering a specialty residency program. This disappointment resulted in either abandoning residency program and continuing as general practitioner and later participating in an esthetic surgery orattempting immigration abroad. This pattern may eventually lead to and an insufficient number of specialists as well as loss of talentsand brain drain. Conclusion: Paying attention to the needs of medical students, making changes in medical education and updating curricula, creating hope and improving economic conditions, particularly financial support for physicians serving in deprived areas are important. An interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach should be advocated for reforms to Iran's institutionalized monopoly in the health sector.
