The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire based on documentary studies so that its validity determined by content validity method and using the opinions of five academic experts and the reliability calculated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient 0.897. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (Mean & Standard Deviation) and inferential statistics (One-Sample T- Test & Friedman Test) through SPSS.
Results: The mean of economic domains (3.82± 0.641), cultural (3.37± 0.735), political (3.73± 0.452), academic (3.64± 0.620), managerial (3.65± 0.749) and information (3.88± 0.732) were moderate, and Friedman's test results showed that political and cultural domains had the highest  and  the lowest impact on internationalization of medical education respectively.
