Dean of International Affairs

Welcome to Shahroud University of Medical Sciences (SHMU) and to the International Affairs Office (IAO). SHMU's founding vision of providing education at times and in places convenient to students paved the way for many of the university's past international education programs, initiatives and activities, and continues to guide us as we develop future global efforts that connect SHMU to the world. The International Affairs Office serves as a base for the university's international initiatives and student services, and includes the Office of International Students and Scholars which is dedicated to provide immigration, orientation, counseling and overall assistance to all international students, visiting scholars, and faculty on and off campus. The IAO also provides ongoing assistance and support for all members of the university community engaged in campus internationalization and globalization efforts. I urge you to take advantage of everything SHMU has to offer, and to become a global ambassador for your country while you are here. Together, we can learn from each other and help promote multicultural awareness, harmony and peace around the world. Welcome to the SHMU global network!
