The development of faculty members in different dimensions of education and research is considered as the main way to develop higher education institutions, which will in turn lead to the development of the society. Educational conditions and facilities are one of the factors affecting education and learning, but the conditions and educational facilities without a good teacher will not be effective. Problem Statement: One of the most important missions of universities is to educate students who are future specialists and managers of the country, and among these, medical universities have an important role in the development of professional role of graduates. Proper adjustment of teacher-student interaction in the process of teaching learning can be effective in the process of teaching and research. Knowing the individual characteristics of the teacher from the perspective of the students can promote this interaction and ultimately lead to the development of the quality of education. Therefore, identifying the individual characteristics of professors is considered as a necessity and is one of the most important priorities of the ministry. Therefore, the present study seeks to identify and evaluate the individual components and characteristics of faculty members. Importance and Necessity of Research: Considering the role of professors in the university in general and the quality of students' learning in particular, and regarding the necessity of emphasizing the quality of education in the missions of the first universities such as Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, this study aimed to identify the desirable individual characteristics of faculty members of medical sciences universities from the viewpoint of students in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. method: This research in three stages A- Designing a research data collection tool (questionnaire) B- Implementation phase: C- Data analysis (questionnaire analysis) Based on this, a questionnaire was designed for 85 of the 120 selected articles, and after distributing among 150 students and collecting their answers, 140 questionnaires were analyzed. In this research, to identify and prioritize the impact of individual characteristics of professors related to the teaching of faculty members from the perspective of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences students in their learning from descriptive statistics (prevalence, frequency percentage and mean) and to present and examine the side findings of the research, inferential statistics were used. has been. Discussion and conclusion: In this study, according to the students, the most important characteristics of a good professor are ethical standards, compliance with rules and evaluation, communication and counseling skills, scholarly research and teaching skills, which are not consistent with the findings of some researchers. This difference can be caused by the subjectiveness of the answers and the lack of sufficient knowledge of the students about the process as well as the field, level of study and the university where the students study. In the field of academic research, students gave the least importance to the professor's interest in research. In the area of teaching skills, the students gave the most importance to having a lesson plan and expressing it to the students, and the least importance to expressing the importance of each lesson at the beginning. Importance was given to holding a comprehensive and accurate exam at the end of the semester. In the field of compliance with educational rules, from the students' point of view, the highest importance was given to the professor's timely presence in the classroom and the lowest importance was to comply with the educational regulations to remove students with more than the permitted absence. Which is consistent with the studies of Kamali and Pour Chenari, Ghorbani, Nazimi and Richard et al., but it is not consistent with Bloomfield's study, which admits that the highest importance in the field of compliance with educational rules is the teacher's adherence to the rules.
