Most organizations attempt to limit the total number of competencies to a rational number and consider the most important competencies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine core competencies which can be improved through development programs for the academic leaders in Iran University of Medical Sciences.Methods: This study was conducted in two phases. The first phase was the critical review based on Carnwell and Daly’s approach. The search time was from 2000 to 2017. The searches were conducted in PubMed, Emerald, ERIC, ProQuest, Web of Science, Scopus, SID, and nor gram. The second phase was modified Delphi in three rounds. The purposive sampling was used to employ appropriate participants.Result: According to the critical review results, competencies were categorized in two groups, including 62 personal competencies and 19 functional competencies. Also, according to modified Delphi results, 19 competencies, including 12 personal competencies and 7 functional competencies were selected as trainable core competencies.Conclusion: In order to design a development program for academic leaders in the integrated educational system in Iran University of Medical Sciences, both personal and functional competencies need to be considered together. Keywords: core competencies, academic leader, integrated educational system

In the present work, we simulate rareffed gas flow between two moving nano/micro parallel plates maintained at the same uniform temperature using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. We perform simulations for monatomic argon and diatomic nitrogen gas and compare mon/diatomic gas behavior. For both gases, we study heat transfer and shear stress and investigate the e ects of compressibility and rarefaction in the entire Knudsen regime and for a wide range of wall Mach numbers. Slip velocity, temperature jump, wall heat flux and wall shear stress are directly sampled from the particles striking the surfaces and reported for monatomic and diatomic cases for different rarefaction regimes. We also study deviation from the equilibrium using the probability density function for argon and nitrogen gas molecules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
