Given the social, economic, environmental and internal developments of universities, the necessity for medical universities to move to being third-generation universities has been demonstrated. These universities, along with the requirements of entrepreneurship and commercialization of research, are in need of structural requirements. This study was conducted with the aim to identify and introduce the structural requirements of medical sciences universities in Iran in the transition to the third-generation universities.
This study was a qualitative approach using a conventional content analysis method. The contributors comprised 16 faculty members working in medical universities in Iran who were purposefully recruited and interviewed face to face in semi-structured interviews between October 2018 and March 2019.
Two wide classifications containing macro-structural requirements (institutional requirements) and micro-structural requirements (organizational requirements) were developed. Institutional requirements included four subcategories including redefining the university as a holding of knowledge business units, redefining academic units as a strategic business unit (SBU) which refer to the mission of the universities and eliminate bureaucracy, independence, and 'Competition in recruitment and contracts' which refer to the administrative requirements of the universities. The organizational requirements included units and offices, centers, and parks that are grouped because of similarities in internal processes.
Medical universities need structural requirements to move to third-generation universities and improve infrastructure. These requirements, which develop in a spiral over time, must be appropriate and tailored to the capacity of each university.
鉴于大学的社会、经济、环境及内部发展情况，已证明医科大学向第三代大学转型的必要性。这些大学连同创业和研究商业化的要求，需要结构性要求。本研究旨在确定并介绍伊朗医科大学向第三代大学转型过程中的结构性要求。
本研究采用常规内容分析法的定性研究方法。参与者包括伊朗医科大学的16名教职员工，他们是经过有目的招募，并于2018年10月至2019年3月期间接受了半结构化的面对面访谈。
形成了两大类，即宏观结构要求（机构要求）和微观结构要求（组织要求）。机构要求包括四个子类别，即重新将大学定义为知识业务单位的集合体，将学术单位重新定义为战略业务单位（SBU），这涉及大学的使命并消除官僚作风，独立性以及“招聘和合同方面的竞争”，这涉及大学的行政要求。组织要求包括因内部流程相似而分组的单位和办公室、中心及园区。
医科大学向第三代大学转型并改善基础设施需要结构性要求。这些要求会随着时间呈螺旋式发展，必须适合并根据每所大学的能力进行调整。
