 Education and development are an important part of human resources development. Education is the basis of all learning and one of the most important factors in improving human resources. Education is the most effective tool and the strongest process available to transfer knowledge and skills to human resources and prepare and strengthen them to perform tasks. Training and development play an important role in the advancement of technology, which has led to increased competition, increased customer expectations of quality and service, and subsequently resulted in the subsequent need to reduce costs. Prominent management writer Peter Drucker said that the fastest growing industry is training and development as a result of the replacement of industrial workers with knowledge-based workers. Training and development is one of the main functions of human resources. Many organizations consider training and development as an integral part of human resource development. The new century has also witnessed the focus on this issue in organizations globally. Technical training involves a change in a person's attitude, skill, or knowledge with the resulting improvement in behavior. For training to be effective, a planned activity should be implemented after a complete needs analysis and target specific competencies. Most importantly, education should be done in a learning environment. While designing the training program, both individual and organizational goals should be kept in mind. Although it may not be possible to guarantee a synchronized training program, the competencies are selected in such a way that a win-win relationship is created for the employee and the organization. Training is often confused with development. However, these two concepts are different in some specific dimensions, although they are still parts of the same system. Development means opportunities created to help employees grow. Unlike training that focuses on the current job, development is more of a long-term or forward-looking nature. Development is also not limited to job options in the current organization but may also focus on other aspects of development. Therefore, the main difference between training and development is that training often focuses on current employee needs or competency gaps, while development deals with preparing people for future tasks and responsibilities. Meanwhile, continuous training is an inseparable part of the activities of any organization, which has received significant attention in most countries of the world during the last five decades. Continuous training is a process that prepares employees during their service to improve and increase their efficiency in current and future job positions, to improve their way of thinking and acting, and to provide job information that is relevant and consistent with the need to achieve organizational goals. Places employees. A review of the conducted studies indicates the lack of a comprehensive and appropriate model in this field and the absence of a known and visible model that is effective in improving human resources in medicine according to the conditions and culture of our country. As a result, there is a need to provide an effective model for medical manpower empowerment programs and the possibility of implementing these programs with the conditions and facilities of Iran's hospitals so that it is possible to meet the needs of medical education and then provide care with methods be implemented scientifically. In other words, a model that can be used in applying the taught items improve the quality of medical services and ultimately leads to professional development. Considering that continuing education programs in medical empowerment have positive goals and functions for doctors, paramedics, managers, patients, organizations, and professions, the achievement of which requires the use of the applied model of continuing education in medical improvement. It is effective and efficient, to design a suitable model in continuous education in improving and empowering medicine and to provide a suitable model in this field. To improve the quality of medical services to patients and medical professional development, and in general to achieve greater productivity, which is the effectiveness of continuous education programs in improving medicine.

The present research was an exploratory study in terms of the nature of the research. The statistical population of this research was 90 employees of Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences, and 74 people were selected as a sample using the Cochran sampling method. The data collection tool was a standard 100-item questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha of 0.8 and its validity was confirmed by face validity with the opinion of experts. SPSS statistical software was used for data analysis.

As a result of this research, it can be seen that the significance level of the test is less than 0.05 (sig < 0.05), which means that it can be said with 99% confidence that there is a significant difference between the priorities of the continuous education components. You have According to the statistical analysis, the ethical components and technology and design have the highest average and are more influenced by the education of health and medical services than the other factors.

 Compilation of educational content in the education of health and medical services is considered one of the main challenges of learning and the key to the success of this educational system, which is the factors of education management and technical support, technology and design, pedagogical, institutional, ethical, evaluation and feedback and format. Blended learning has a significant impact on the development of medical education. It is suggested that Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences should go through the following steps to implement the personal development program based on learning in the workplace: obtaining the commitment of the executive directors and senior managers to implement and follow up the personal development program based on learning in the workplace; Examining each component in the form of separate studies to investigate and extract sub-components that have an impact on continuous medical education; Compilation of goals and strategies of the organization and formulation of a charter for supporting training plans; Needs assessment and identification of the current situation of organizational education and learning. Human considerations such as respondents' dishonesty and the interference of others' opinions, especially colleagues, could be effective in people's responses to questionnaires. Restrictions in attracting the cooperation of some people with the researcher due to the spread of the coronavirus the distribution of questionnaires and the delay in returning several questionnaires, as well as the restriction in holding group classes due to the spread of the corona disease were limiting factors of the research.

Nowadays, due to the public’s altered expectations from the dentists and their demand for quality dental services and other factors, the willingness of dentists to continue their education has been strengthened. This study was aimed to evaluate and compare the interest rates of the dentistry students of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences (AJUMS) for pursuing a specialty.
Subjects and

This analytical and cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in March 2016. The population of the study included all 484 students studying for a professional doctorate of dentistry. Sampling was based on the distribution of questionnaires among all students out of whom 118 from the school of dentistry and 58 from the autonomous campus completed the questionnaires. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, average, normality test of Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Mann-Whitney nonparametric test to compare the average were employed using SPSS21.

This study showed that 59% of students were willing to study (1.08±2.36). No significant difference was found between the school of dentistry and the autonomous campus (P = 0.870) or between females and males (P=0.291).

The factors contributing to these results include: better economic opportunity, access to more and better work, and better social position. In addition, among the factors that lead students not to pursue their studies are getting exhausted, problems associated with passing the professional exam and starting a practice immediately after graduation.

Civic and hospital pharmacy clerkship are two most important courses of pharmacy education which lead to skill acquisition in offering pharmaceutical care services. In this descriptive-cross sectional study, these courses (including elementary, in field (2 levels) and hospital pharmacy clerkships) were presented to all students of one class with a new method. At the end, the satisfaction rates were assessed by a questionnaire at the end of educational year in 2014. The questionnaire’s validity and reliability were tested beforehand. The results showed that 45% of the students reported high and very high acquired skills. Most of the students (29 out of 40) announced that community pharmacy in field (level 1) training method had met their expectations. According to the result, a combination of theoretical and practical training (e.g. manual education along with practical training appropriated to the number of students in pharmacy) can raise the satisfaction of students.

The selection of educational field and consequently a career is one of the most important decisions in life, which can satisfy individuals’ material as well as mental needs. This research was conducted to assess the motivations of dental students on choosing their field of study, studying at the Autonomous Campus of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Science (AJUMS). It was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical research conducted on March 2015. The participants consisted of all 220 students of the Autonomous College of Dentistry where they were accepted through the nationwide-university-entrance examination, and they also had to pay a relatively high tuition. From participants who received the questionnaires, 58 (22 male and 36 female) completed the questionnaires. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, Kolmogorov - Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney nonparametric comparison of means and SPSS software version 21 were utilized. Having an independent office (0.53±3.59), acquiring a proper social status (0.88±3.17) and achieving a high economic income (0.82±3.09) were respectively the main reasons for the students’ choice. Given the high unemployment rate of university graduates as well as the employment restrictions through governmental and private organizations, it seems that dentistry serves as a reliable and independent income, giving a social prestige and qualities like these would be the most important incentives of the applicants in choosing dentistry as their future ideal field of study.

Following the increasing development in information technology, the traditional methods of teaching cannot meet the staff's teaching demands and the educational needs of today's organizations. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted in October 2014 to investigate satisfaction of in-service training e-courses among employees at Ahvaz Jundishapour University of Medical Sciences and Health Services(AJUMS); three categories named satisfaction of content, presentation and e-learning programs. The studied population consisted out of 1052 members included official, contract and conditioned contract staff, and a sample of 211 were selected by easy randomized. Data collection was performed through a standardized questionnaire based on Likert scale; Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were reassessed; then, data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, frequency, mode, mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, and independent t-test using statistical software SPSS 21. The highest amount of satisfaction obtained regarding to e-learning program was 4.17 average (of 5 scores) and %80.65 agreed; while the lowest belonged tothe content satisfaction with 3.76 average and %69.43 agreed. Background variables such as work experience, type of employment, and education and gender didn’t have any impact on the employee's satisfaction from participating in e-learning courses. Therefore, due to the considerable satisfaction of the employees from the e-courses, it seems necessary to consider serious planning for the appropriate structure and full implementation of this approach to learning.

In addition to stresses relating to educational settings, dentistry students are also exposed to stresses of clinical settings. Anxiety and depression are two very important issues in everyone’s life. This is due undoubtedly to exposure to stress and tensions, and it is the individuals’ variability that determines to what extent they are influenced by environmental conditions. Through this cross-comparative study conducted in May 2014, we tried to determine to what extent the individuals behavior is affected by the environment. The research hypothesis holds that the extent of anxiety and depression among non-native male students of Dentistry School at Ahvaz Jundi Shapour University of Medical Science was much higher than that of their native counterparts. To this end, Beck Depression Inventory and Cattell Anxiety test were used. Then, reliability and validity of the questionnaire were reassessed, and then the population was determined through studying total of 123 male studentsthat 62 (31 non-native and 31 native) students were randomized easily, in addition, they had spent more than 2 years studying dentistry, and their family economic situation was also relatively moderate. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, frequency, mode, mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, and independent t-test and Pearson Correlation using statistical software SPSS21. Finally, the results indicated that depression and anxiety among native and non-native students were not significantly different, therefore, the hypothesis was rejected.

Quantitative evaluations are considered as one of the appropriate criteria in accepting or rejecting the selection of information resources in libraries. Through these assessments, one can evaluate how much the selected resources meet the needs of the users. The present study aimed to review the cost-benefit analysis of the Persian books on Department of Library and Information Sciences in Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahwaz, Iran. This cross-sectional survey described the current situation, evaluated how much the books in the field of Library and Information Science are used and did a cost-benefit analysis of these books in Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in Ahwaz. The study population included all the Persian books related to the Library and Information Sciences at the aforesaid university's libraries. Data collection tool was a researchers-made checklist, and the data were collected using the Library software. Descriptive statistics and cost-benefit formula were used for analyzing the data. Findings showed that average total cost for using each of the books once was approximately 4589 Iranian Rial rate (IRR) which was considered to be a relatively high price. The lowest cost for using each book once was related to those published in 2002 (2913 IRR) and the highest cost for using each book once was related to those published in 2005 (31413 IRR). Cost-benefit analysis of the books showed that the lowest cost-benefit was for the books related to the "library collection" (755 IRR), then in a growing rate for books related to the "references" (2777 IRR), "library management" (2877 IRR) and "organizing" (5693 IRR). The cost-benefit analysis showed that use of each of these books every time is expensive and is not affordable for the libraries. The Persian books related to the "library collection" had a higher rate of use by the users than other books in the field of Library and Information Sciences, and therefore have been more affordable.
