Data was collected by interview, observation and documents reviewed .Data were analyzed using Mean statistics and alpha cronbach through SPSS.
Results: the functions of pediatrics, psychiatric and internal medicine educational groups in terms of ten- area accountable education were as follows: Pediatrics (61.45%) fairly good, psychiatry (43.37%) moderate and internal medicine (33.73%) moderate with a slightly lower function than psychiatry groups.
