Introduction: The Fourth Development Plan and Vision of the next 20 years, provided requirements and strategic plans, in accordance with the mission of development. Knowledge is a new title that refers to the present and near future. For this purpose, the increasing importance of integrated management of knowledge in organizations is felt more every day. The aim of this study was to design a model for the required infrastructure to implement knowledge management in AJA University of Medical Sciences.

Objective: The first plan was to implement knowledge management in the Islamic Republic of Iran University of Medical Sciences.

Materials and Methods: This study was a research of the structural equation modeling techniques on 110 people with bachelor degree or higher at AJA University of Medical Sciences during year 2013. The data was analyzed using the SPSS and LISREL software with Pearson correlation (Spearman) and structural equation modeling.

Results: The findings showed that organizational culture and organizational structure, technology, information and motivation are the necessary infrastructure for implementation of knowledge management. According to the findings, it seems that organizational culture (learning, trust and cooperation) has the greatest influence on the implementation of knowledge management, and culture had special potency. The structure of decentralization and organizational formalization, respectively, have a significant effect and have least impact on the implementation of knowledge management.

Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results of the proposed structure, this study could be a starting point for implementing knowledge management at the AJA University of Medical Sciences. According to the research findings, infrastructure knowledge management in organizations such as AJA University of Medical Sciences is based on organizational culture, organizational structure, information technology, motivation and strength, and culture, which if implemented could lead to the implementation of knowledge management in the educational organization.
Keywords: AJA University of Medical Science, Implementation, Knowledge Management, Pattern Design.
