It has 5 colleges, 6750 students, and also has another campus in Khoy . HISTORY The university was founded by Joseph Cochran as a medical school in 1878, who is also often credited for founding Iran’s "first contemporary medical college". The website of Urmia University credits Cochran for "lowering the infant mortality rate in the region" {Link without Title} and for founding one of Iran's first modern hospitals ("Westminister Hospital") in Urmia. The medical faculty Cochran established there was joined by several other Americans, namely Drs. Wright, Homlz, van Nourdon, and Miller. They were all buried in Urmia . The webiste of Urmia University says this about Cochran and his team: ::''"There they lie in peace away from their homeland, and the testimonial epitaphs on their tombs signify their endeavor and devotion to humanity."'' The Urmia University of Medical Sciences detached from the main school in 1985. SEE ALSO
