Abstract

We are excited to contribute our thoughts and insights to the discussion initiated by Gandomkar et al. in their article on the accreditation system in Iran (Gandomkar et al., BMC Med Educ 23:379, 2023). As individuals who have been directly involved in the process of meta-accreditation and possess a comprehensive understanding of the various stages of Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) accreditation in Iran, we would like to highlight additional points that were identified through a rigorous hermeneutic phenomenology process proposed by Gadamer (Gadamer, Truth and Method, 2013) and offer a complementary point of view to the previous work. By sharing our insights, we hope to contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding UME accreditation. © The Author(s) 2024.
