Description
Leila Doshmangir and colleagues set out what makes a good manager for health sciences schools, such as deans and heads of teaching departments. Picking the right leaders shapes how medical universities perform, yet appointments often rest on habit rather than merit criteria. Writing in twenty twenty-five, the Iran-based team combined several methods. A scoping review, reading of national documents, interviews and group talks with stakeholders, and a structured expert voting process to settle the final lists.
They settled on a set of selection criteria grouped into five domains, covering character, knowledge of the organization, professionalism, education and expertise, and engagement with the role. A shorter checklist supports the choice of school heads, and a seven-step appointment process is proposed for department heads. The authors argue that strong subject expertise must pair with management skill, people development, and change leadership.
