At Alberta University, the appropriate link between the lesson plan and the needs and problems of the community. The curriculum of the Iranian Nursing Doctor in parts such as the profile and structure of the course coincide with the syllabus of the doctoral program of nursing University of Alberta. Also, the comparison showed that applications for admission to the University of Alberta apply for individuals with a postgraduate degree in nursing and a degree in research statistics and for non-Canadian language proficiency and clinical records for Ph.D. But in Iran, student admission is subject to a master's degree.
Discussion and Conclusion: One of the strengths of the Ph.D. program in Iran can be the alignment of the values and beliefs of the program based on the Islamic values system and gaining competencies such as critical thinking, clinical argumentation, problem solving, evidence-based decision making, and the recording of an analytical report.
