Advantages and Limitations

NMC Compliance and Recognition

Do not rely on claims that every Georgian university is "NMC approved". NMC does not publish such a list. Check that the university is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools and that your admission follows the FMGL Regulations, 2021. After graduating, you need to clear the screening exam, currently FMGE conducted by NBEMS. NExT is planned but has not yet been implemented for foreign graduates. Follow our NMC updates for changes.
