The department of physiology has constantly attempted to expand this knowledge objectively, performing in accordance with the priorities and goals of the related plans and national, regional and academic documents, while exploiting advanced technologies and novel educational-research methods in order to promote professional behaviors and enhance the qualitative/quantitative level of education in this field.

Progressive development in qualitative and quantitative aspects of educational-research capabilities in different branches of the physiology science with regional, national and international approaches is essential to the influential participation in scientific and technological domains and moving toward becoming productive third- and fourth-generation universities.

To this end, the greatest endeavor for our department is to achieve the goals and priorities as a leading section in the physiology knowledge by the grace of God and generosity of Imam Reza (AS), as well as the adoption of a program-based, objective strategy within the determined schedule and framework.   

The MSc of Physiology program at the Mashhad University of Medical is an on-campus, thesis based, 3 years postgraduate level program awarding the MSc degree of medical Physiology.
