Background: A Based on the World Health Organization's reporting, over 1.25 million people die annually in traffic accidents worldwide. Traffic accidents are the ninth main cause of death worldwide, with an average age range of victims of 15 to 29. Broadly speaking, 90% of traffic accidents happen in the lowand middle-income countries that comprise 82% of the global population, and these countries account for half of the world's vehicles. One of the goals of the National Road Traffic Knowledge Development Trustee is to plan and implement training courses (content design, design and implementation and evaluation) for target groups. To achieve this goal and due to the lack of academic programs on traffic safety in Iran, a single-credit course, "Safety and Traffic," was developed to be run as a compulsory academic course in all universities across the country. Methods: This course was administered as a national pilot study in four phases and in 17 medical universities across the country. All experts and national authorities in the Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Health and Medical Education were requested to provide feedback. Afterwards, the results and comments were forwarded to the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution for further investigation. Upon approval of the Council, the course will be implemented in all universities across the country. Results: Results from the pre-test showed that the level of students' knowledge was low before attending the training courses. Surveys also revealed that the two items of "pedestrian safety" and "first aids in RTCs" were the most useful and applicable subjects. The percentage of wrong answers ranged from 61 to 98%. Conclusion: Considering the importance of traffic accidents and people's role in traffic-related issues, it seems that it is necessary to provide university courses for traffic safety education.
Background and Objectives: In order to synchronize the organization's manpower, professional learning should be done continuously by creating an appropriate organizational learning climate. The present study aimed to investigate the role of educational organizational learning dimensions and job orientation on personal learning in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 220 employees of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences who were selected by proportional stratified sampling. Required data were obtained through standard questionnaires including organizational learning atmosphere of Tracey & Tews, Personal Learning Orientation of Tarno and professional learning of Lei, et al questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.21 software using descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation test and path analysis were applied using LISREL software. Results: The highest mean among the dimensions of organizational education was related to management support dimension and the mean of personal learning orientation was higher than the organizational learning atmosphere. The results of the analysis of the Lizerl path indicated that organizational education dimensions including management support (β = 0.52), occupational support (β =0.63), organizational support (ß = 0.67) and personal learning orientation (β = 0.87) had a positive effect on the level of professional learning of employees of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and their model has a good fit. Conclusion: The organizational learning climate and personal learning orientation had a direct positive effect on the rate of professional learning of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences employees.
