Additionally, interviews were conducted with 14 Iranian experts to pinpoint influential components. To be included, experts possessed relevant education in medical education, health policy, or higher education management; occupied an executive or managerial position in higher health education or health policy; had more than 15 years of work experience, and were willing to participate in the study.
