Geomedi Medical University, generally referred to as University Geomedi, is one of the top private higher education institutions in Tbilisi. It was established in 1998 by the Founder (and present rector of the university), Professor Marina Pirtskhalava. The university has developed its academic infrastructure and educational programmes over the years, attracting students from different countries. The university’s demographics and enrollment history indicate that about 700 students (58% of the international population) are from India, studying their MBBS in Georgia at Geomedi.
Geomedi Medical University provides a high standard of medical education that is unconditionally accredited by ACQUIN (an international agency recognised by ENQA). ACQUIN is a member of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA), an organisation supporting quality assurance in higher education. Georgia's participation in the Bologna Process supports alignment with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), although degree recognition remains subject to the applicable requirements of individual countries. This provides Indian foreign medical graduates with a diverse range of career opportunities after completing their MBBS abroad at Geomedi University.
Geomedi Medical University offers a robust practical education through on-campus advanced technology and extensive clinical training at major affiliated hospitals, such as Evex Hospitals (comprising 18 hospitals) and Rustavi Central Hospital. It has a “Simulation Medicine Clinic” and a “Human Anatomy Block”, which provide students with the latest medical equipment and technical resources to help them develop clinical skills. Beyond academics, Geomedi University encourages participation in extracurricular activities, including sports events and cricket tournaments, providing students with opportunities for recreation and social interaction.
