MEDICINE IN GEORGIA - A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITIES


Georgia is a beautiful country situated in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, it is bounded to the west by the Black Sea, to the north by Russia, to the south by Turkey and Armenia, and to the southeast by Azerbaijan. The capital and largest city of the country is Tbilisi.

The country enjoys a pleasant climate throughout the year, not exceeding 20-25 degree celcius in summers, providing a suitable environment for studying and daily activities. It also is now a favourite holiday destination, offering many tourist attractions that appeal to all interests.Tbilisi's Rustaveli Avenue, Narikala Fortress, Stepantsminda and Mount Kazbeg are few of the many places which have attracted international attention.

Having geographical location and the climatic conditions to its advantage, the country has now become one of the preferred destinations for foreign students, a bulk of them from India, to pursue their Medical degree abroad .With many batches already passed, Georgia sees many more new in-coming students every year.

There are many universities offering Medicine in the main cities of the country, all of which are registered medical institutions. Most of the universities are privately owned, providing state-of-the-art infrastructure and learning facilities. Universities provide either 5 or 6 year Medical Course leading to a MD degree (Equivalent to undergraduate MBBS degree).

Students need to earn a total of 360 credit points in order to graduate successfully. Currently, most universities provide a 6 years course, in which students score around 60 credit points in a year, but efforts are being taken up to let students earn around 75 credit points in a year so as to decrease the duration of the course to 5 years.

Georgia offers an integrated program for learning medicine, unlike other universities of the world which follow the conventional methods. In the conventional method, the first 2.5-3 years of the course is spent in teaching pre-clinical subjects and the later part of the course offers a clinical exposure, but in the integrated approach followed by Georgia, a few clinical subjects and topics are covered along with their related pre-clinical subjects, providing ground for students to co-relate topics and learn. This way, students can go and start learning at the hospital right from their first year, unlike in other universities.Overall, the students studying here in Georgia enjoy learning because teaching is more clinical oriented rather than classroom oriented.

The students enjoy summer vacations beginning at the end of July and winter vacations beginning in the month of February.

In short, Georgia is a very suitable place for pursuing medicine career abroad, given the climate, the lifestyle and the quality of education.

Georgia has some strict rules and regulations regarding its immigration and visa procedures. Although many Countries enjoy a Visa free arrival in Georgia, you are required to have the entire set of documents, including the health insurance and proof of accommodation for your period of stay in Georgia to ensure a smooth immigration clearance.Since most of the Universities have no accommodation facilities within the campus, it adds up to the complications of getting a Visa. And irrespective of all the strict documentation,if the students wants to apply to a Georgian University to fulfill their dream of becoming a doctor, they need some experienced hands for the smooth application process and preparation of immigration clearance documents.
