New changes in Georgia medical education

The Georgian Embassy in India announced recent reforms in Georgia’s medical education system, implemented by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth.

  • Legal Framework: Under Article 14 of Georgia’s Law on Medical Practice, graduates of the MD program (equivalent to MBBS in India) can perform doctor duties as junior doctors.
  • International Accreditation: Medical programs in Georgia are accredited by the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement, recognized by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME). This ensures global recognition of MD diplomas.
  • Recognition in India: The MD qualification is fully equivalent to an MBBS degree in India and the UK.
  • Emergency Care: Junior doctors can provide emergency medical care independently if no certified doctor is available.
  • Compliance with NMC: These reforms align with the new rules of the National Medical Commission (NMC), enhancing opportunities for Indian medical students in Georgia.

This accreditation and regulatory framework positions Georgia as a favorable destination for Indian students pursuing medical education.
