    ADVISORY TO INDIAN STUDENTS

    SEEKING ADMISSION IN GEORGIA

    Embassy of India
    Yerevan
    ***

    In response to the various queries received from Indian students, aspiring for
    medical studies in Georgia, the following are the few answers provided by the
    Georgian authorities, for information of all concerned:

    i) What is the duration of the Undergraduate Medical (MD) Program


    in Georgia for Indian students?

    Ans: Following national regulations for programs in medicine and Medical


    Sector Benchmarks, which is mandatory to be fulfilled in order to get state
    accreditation, the duration of undergraduate MD programs in Georgia is 6
    years.

    ii) What is the duration of Internship/Clinical rotations in the


    medical course (MD)?

    Ans: Up to 3rd course, the students take pre-clinical subjects, acquire


    clinical skills in simulation centers. Starting from the 4th course, MD
    students start mandatory clinical rotations. Usually, the 5th and 6th
    semesters are almost entirely dedicated to such rotations in clinical setting,
    amounting to roughly 120 ECTS on the span of the last 4 semesters.

    iii) Do medical universities in Georgia provide internships in the same


    medical university hospitals and Indian Students (MD students) allowed
    to do internship in Georgia?

    Ans: Some of the HEIs do have their own university clinics in Georgia, and
    those who do not own the clinic/hospital, usually sign the MoUs with several
    clinics. Such agreements shall indicate the medical directions to be served,
    number of students to enroll on traineeship, duration of internship, etc. All
    in all, HEIs provide internships/rotations either at their own or affiliated
    clinics. Indian students and other foreign nationals have the same right as
    Georgians to take these clinical courses following and fulfilling the general
    curriculum of the program. If they wish to undergo extra clinical
    activities/internships at various clinics, this can be facilitated in agreement
    with the HEI and clinics themselves and it always helps if the students know
    the local language in order to communicate with the patients. Most of the MD
    programs do offer the Georgian language courses within their study plan.

    iv) Are Indian medical students allowed to touch the patients and
    practice during the internship/clinical rotations?
    Ans: Students in Georgia, regardless of their nationality, are allowed to touch
    and physically examine the patients under the supervision of their instructor
    and by the consent of the patient;

    v) Does an Indian (MD) student get registered under any professional


    regulatory body or otherwise under any institution that is competent to
    grant a license at par to the citizens of Georgia?

    Ans:. MD students, regardless of their nationality, do not get registered under


    any regulatory body, as they are not allowed to perform any independent
    medical practice. Once they finish with the program, students usually take a
    national post-diploma qualification exam, which allows the graduates to
    continue with postgraduate studies/residency at the clinics/hospitals that
    are accredited by the Ministry of Health to provide such residency programs
    (in specialized fields of medicine). The national post-diploma qualification
    exam for MD graduates is administered by the Medical and Pharmaceutical
    Regulation Agency, operating under the guidance of the Ministry of Health.
    The test is in Georgian and there is no specific rule that prohibits Indian
    students to take it.

    vi) Does an Indian (MD) student allowed to get a license to practice in


    Georgia as a medical practitioner? If yes, what is the process?

    Ans.: That an Indian student completes the MD program, passes the PDQE
    successfully, gets on the track of specialized residency program and
    accomplishes the residency successfully, they are allowed to pursue a job in
    the medical/clinical sphere locally and run independent practice with the
    limits of law.
