Abstract
The research was conducted with the aim of reviewing the foundational fields, study focus, and future prospects of the sociology of medical education, with a view on Iran's situation. The method is a non-systematic and narrative review. Data were collected to retrieval and analysis of written documents spanning the past 70 years (1950s to 2020s). The keywords were searched in scientific databases in Iran and around the world. The inclusion criteria were purposeful and cumulative, focusing on "Matching keywords," "Top-cited, indexed, and meaningful" articles related to "Medical students, physicians, institutions/medical system," with at least one writer in the field of sociology. Extraction and synthesis of information involved thematic content analysis and historical sequencing. The research focuses on the originality of documents and adherence to ethical standards. According to the results, the sociology of medical education is one of the focal points of sociological knowledge production, that is extensively studied around the world. However, its presence in the medical and sociological societies of Iran is not wellknown. There are only a few examples of theoretical and experimental works in this field in Iran. The possibility of moving within existing axes and exploring various potential "Epistemological and research perspectives" is considerable.
