Sign a contract! No matter how nice the landlord or landlady appears to be when you are renting the apartment, make sure you sign a contract. Never specify your responsibilities to each other via verbal agreements. It is necessary for all the students to sign an agreement with the landlord as it will be submitted to the local Migration authorities as a proof of residence for the issuance of the Residence Permit.

Before renting an apartment carefully inspect the flat to make sure that everything is fine and it meets all your requirements.

At TMA, students are given the opportunity to build a strong theoretical foundation while developing the practical skills needed to become successful doctors.

TMA is one of the first private medical universities in Georgia. Over the last 3 decades, it has evolved significantly, thanks to substantial financial investments that have resulted in the modernisation of the campus.

The teaching at TMA is guided by experienced faculty and professors based on the latest and most up-to-date international textbooks and educational material. TMA's assessment and examination systems comply with international standards defined by the Bologna Process. It prepares students for international qualification examinations (USMLE, PLAB, MCI, etc.) from the earliest steps of their learning and enables them to have successful careers as doctors around the world. A stand-out feature for students who want to continue their studies or work in the US is that TMA provides USMLE prep courses at no additional cost and that the university can organise clinical rotations there.

During the learning process, students can deepen their theoretical knowledge at the Academy's laboratory and clinical skills centre, as well as practise clinical medicine at the University Clinic of TMA and other top medical facilities in Tbilisi.

TMA uses a combination of theoretical and practical teaching methods to ensure a comprehensive understanding and application of medical knowledge. This approach includes lectures, seminars, laboratory work, active learning, clerkships and clinical rotations, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in a real-world healthcare setting.

The first two years of the medical programme at TMA University focus on the foundational science courses that apply to medicine, such as anatomy where students use real preserved organs, bones and models, histology where students study microscopic anatomy, genetics, and biochemistry. The professors at TMA also incorporate real patient cases into their lessons and students get to observe patient interactions and learn through observation.

Students will also participate in case studies, discussions, debates, histology, and role play sessions for a deeper understanding of the theoretical aspects of medicine. They will take part in laboratory sessions and VR (virtual reality) teaching that uses modern technology to help students build in confidence in their clinical skills, before moving on to cadaver dissections and beginning their clinical rotations.

TMA is equipped with the latest technological advancements in teaching, including an Anatomage table, a high-tech 3D dissection table that simulates realistic medical scenarios and visualises them.

As part of their practical training, students will participate in bedside teaching in the presence of a patient and assist doctors during patient examination and procedures in a safe and controlled environment. For their final year of education, students will carry out clinical rotations at one of the 40 affiliated hospitals and clinics.
