The Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education in Iran has tried integrating the primary science curriculum with the clinical program. This means educational reform has been implemented in most medical schools in Iran. In the study of the medical entomology Discipline, prioritization of educational needs, and determination of appropriate solutions to improve the status of the entomology Discipline in the Faculty of Medicine and Health, the basis of experts' opinions were examined and analyzed.
Insert the subject of medical entomology into the Medicine Discipline at the Faculty of Medicine and Health.
The Nominal Group Technique (NGT), which was the papers for recording the opinions of the professors, was done after the focus group. In the focus group, the professors discussed the results obtained from the NGT. This method used the Delphi technique to exchange opinions (disagreement and consensus of experts).
According to the findings of this study, after two technical sessions of the Nominal group, the weak and strong points and required subjects for revision of the chapters of the medical entomology curriculum were determined. Medical entomology in Iranian universities of medical sciences is one of the important topics of medical parasitology Disciplines for general medical students because it provides information about Disease-vector insects and ways to control them (Results two rounds of Delphi).
The educational program of the entomology Discipline needs to be revised and evaluated after the implementation of the revised program.
伊朗卫生、治疗与医学教育部已尝试将基础科学课程与临床课程相结合。这意味着伊朗的大多数医学院都实施了教育改革。在医学昆虫学学科研究中，为确定教育需求的优先级，并找到适当的解决方案以提升医学与健康学院昆虫学学科的地位，对专家意见的依据进行了审查和分析。
将医学昆虫学主题纳入医学与健康学院的医学学科。
在焦点小组讨论之后，采用名义群体技术（NGT）记录教授们的意见。在焦点小组中，教授们讨论了从名义群体技术中获得的结果。该方法运用德尔菲技术来交流意见（专家的分歧与共识）。
根据本研究的结果，在名义群体的两次技术会议之后，确定了医学昆虫学课程各章节的优缺点以及需要修订的主题。伊朗医学科学大学的医学昆虫学是普通医学生医学寄生虫学学科的重要主题之一，因为它提供了有关病媒昆虫及其控制方法的信息（两轮德尔菲结果）。
昆虫学学科的教育计划在修订后的计划实施后需要进行修订和评估。
