The present study is an attempt to explain the experiences of faculty members and students of characteristics of competent professors who play an influential role in the academic achievement of basic medical sciences students in universities of medical sciences across the country. Methods The present study is a conventional qualitative content analysis. Fifteen faculty members and students of medicine from Iranian universities of medical sciences from different regions of the country were selected using a purposive and then theoretical sampling. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection. Results In this study, four themes and nine sub-themes were extracted from interviews. The themes included “clinical knowledge”, “teaching competency”, “monitoring students’ performance”, and “cognitive-psychological arousal”. The sub-themes were “clinical knowledge’ including “Non-applied teaching of basic sciences and unfamiliarity of instructors of basic sciences with the clinic”; “teaching competency” including “having instructional design skills, teaching based on the psychology of learning, and professional development”; “monitoring students’ performance” including “fair evaluation and valid evaluation”, and “cognitive-psychological arousal” including “student support and reinforcement”. Conclusion The present study identified the important characteristics of the competencies of professors of basic medical sciences working in Iranian medical universities. The competency of professors is essential in promoting students’ educational achievement and training efficient and professional students in the field of medicine to render quality health services. The results of this study will assist administrators and educational policymakers in planning for the promotion of professors and medical education.

“… 1 These changes ultimately lead to new demands, and propel responsibilities of faculty members to new levels of complexity and diversity. 2 As one of the important elements of teaching and learning is different roles of teachers, 3 it is necessary that teachers’ roles be redefined to conform with these changes. It is also important to ensure medical teachers that in the shift from “teacher-based” to “student-based” learning, their roles are only “changed” and are certainly not devaluated.…”

BackgroundChanges in medical education have drawn attention to student-based learning. It is necessary that teachers’ educational roles be redefined to conform to these changes. While numerous educational activities are listed for medical teachers, it seems that they involve themselves in only some of these roles. We conducted this study to assess the importance of different educational roles in the view of medical faculties.MethodsA questionnaire that consisted of a total of 12 roles classified into six categories including information provider, role model, facilitator, examiner, planner, and resource developer was prepared. Faculty members were asked to score the importance of each role using a 1–10 scale.ResultsParticipants assigned the highest score to “on-the-job role model” (9.47) and the lowest score to “curriculum planner” (8.31) from their own point of view. They also assigned the highest score to “planning or participating in student exams” (8.10) and the lowest score to “learning facilitator” (6.51) from the perspective of the importance of roles in their school’s programs.ConclusionFaculty members are generally familiar with different educational roles but they need to be informed about some of the roles which have gained lower scores in this study.
