Medical universities as suppliers of health system human resources need effective leaders to promote medical education status in the country. The present study is an attempt to review the literature on academic leadership and to identify research gaps related to this issue in medical universities. This systematized review was conducted by searching databases of ERIC, Pubmed, SID, Scopus, Web of Science, Emerald Proquest, and Google Scholar by appropriate keywords selected from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) documents related to academic leadership that were published between 2009- 2020. The retrieved articles were reviewed (n=505), and after deletion of duplicates, and according to the research inclusion and exclusion criteria 20 articles were reviewed. The quality of selected documents was appraised by MERSQI. Reviewing the selected studies indicated that the leadership studies are mostly conducted in Humanities universities. The studies on academic leadership in medical universities are mostly dealt with the relationship of characteristics of academic leaders and leadership styles. In medical universities, most of the managers who are physicians has not attended management and leadership programs and believe that they do not need to attend these programs. According to the findings of this study, only one research studied challenges and requirements of effective academic leadership in the country. Therefore, conducting qualitative studies on leadership in universities of medical sciences that provide an opportunity for deep study of experiences, beliefs and attitudes of academic leaders deem necessary.

In examining and analyzing the nature of university autonomy in higher education systems, evaluation and explanation of the relationship between the two institutions of government and university is of particular importance. As the government interferes and controls the policies of higher education, the university is faced with the challenge of the autonomy of the university. The purpose of this study was to understand and explain how the power institution is present and effective on Iran's higher education. The methodology of this research is influenced by Norman Fairclough approach, "Critical Discourse Analysis". The documents and texts studied in this study include all texts and written and spoken literature that address the conditions of university autonomy in Iran and the four dimensions of organizational, scientific, financial and employment autonomy. Given the discursive analysis approach, the practical method of data aggregation is the review of documents. The findings of the research show that the state institution influences all four types of university autonomy in Iran's higher education system through its significant factors. These factors are classified and categorized into three categories: "regulatory and control", "administrative and legal", and "financial and educational". Based on the findings of this study, the demands of the trade union and the efforts of the scientific community to overcome the current policies and procedures of exercising power by the state institution on academic autonomy in Iran are strongly suggested. In addition, "moderating political attitudes", "reviewing the traditional and state-based views on higher education governance" and "trying to revive university autonomy" are the three main strategies for restoring university autonomy in Iran.
