The research method, in terms of objectives, is applied; in terms of data collection, it is exploratory mixed-method (qualitative–quantitative); and in terms of nature and type of study, it is grounded theory of the emergent type in the qualitative dimension and cross-sectional survey in the quantitative dimension. The statistical population in the qualitative section included experts in "medical education" and "educational technology." In the quantitative section, it included 340 faculty members of Alborz University of Medical Sciences (160 men and 180 women). The sampling method in the qualitative phase was purposive sampling of the snowball type, which reached theoretical saturation with 15 experts. In the quantitative phase, the sample size was determined using the Morgan sampling formula, resulting in 181 participants (96 women and 85 men). In the present study, after open and axial coding, the measurement tool was developed in the form of a structured form and sent to experts for selective coding and validation. Based on this process, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed and distributed among the selected statistical sample. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that the blended learning model for Alborz University of Medical Sciences consists of six dimensions in order of priority: educational agents, structure, management, implementation method, information and communication technology, and frameworks. These dimensions are composed of 15 components and 111 indicators. The identified dimensions, within a coherent structure, support the constructs of the model under the concept of the blended learning model of Alborz University of Medical Sciences.</span></p> https://www.journalapes.com/index.php/apes/article/download/103/93
