AB  - In addition to training competent human resources to meet health needs of the society, one of the
most important goals of medical universities is to train researcher and scholar. In this process, students as
researchers learn how to communicate fluently with others through writing and present what they have
produced. This study reviewed the dissertations submitted by medicine and dentistry students of ZUMS in
2003-2007 and their compliance to available guidelines qualitatively and quantitatively. This descriptiveanalytical
study evaluated 584 internship, residency and dentistry dissertations submitted in 2003-2007. Data
collected by checklists and information forms were encoded, computerized and analyzed based on objectives
of the study. This study reviewed 584 dissertations from different degrees including internship (56.2%),
residency (19%) and dentistry (24.8%). Out of these dissertations, 88% of internship, > 76% of residency and
12% of dentistry dissertations lacked evaluation form. Supervisors of dissertations were professors of basic
sciences (23%) and professors of clinical sciences (78%). About two thirds of dissertations used descriptive
or descriptive-analytic methods. Descriptive studies were lower in residency than internship and dentistry.
Most of the reviewed dissertations lacked evaluation form and their references did not comply with Vancouver
style; it is recommended to control this in future dissertations.
