Abstract: (51 Views) |
The amount and type of income of groups such as physicians across different historical periods, viewed from both economic as well as a social perspectives, reveal significant historical realities. The current study not only examines the income status of physicians during the Abbasid Caliphate but also investigates how these conditions related to their lifestyle and job stability. The research findings indicate that factors such as specialization, skill proficiency, reputation, family background, location of practice, the number of patient referrals, and the financial status of patients directly influenced the financial status and income of physicians during this period. Corresponding to these income differences, variations and diversity in the lifestyles of physicians are also evident during this period. On the other hand, factors affecting the job security and stability of physicians, such as ethical commitment, validation of professional skills and competencies, societal demand, government support, and quality of education and training, were considered important components in the continuation and sustainability of their income. This research employs a descriptive-analytical method and utilizes library resources, especially books on historical figures and philosophers, to investigate the aforementioned issues. |
