Nestled in the picturesque coastal city of Batumi, Avicenna – Batumi Medical University is the first of its kind in Georgia—established directly on the foundation of a network of hospitals, fueled by a vision to educate with both care and clinical relevance. Founded in 2022 by the Academic Council of Advisors of Medcenter, Avicenna is a modern institution designed to train medical professionals with a blend of academic rigor and real-world readiness.
The university’s core mission—“learning for life”—reflects its holistic approach to medical education, escorting students through every stage, from prevention to rehabilitation. A standout feature of Avicenna is its simulation training center, equipped to American standards—one of the most advanced facilities in the region. These simulation labs provide students with safe and immersive clinical learning before transitioning to real patient care.
Accreditation is the backbone of Avicenna’s credibility. Its six-year Medical Doctor (MD) program in English was officially accredited in December 2023 by Georgia’s National Centre for Educational Quality Enhancement—a body recognized by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME), enhancing the global validity of Avicenna’s graduates. This recognition ensures that the university’s degrees hold weight beyond Georgia’s borders, aligning with international standards long respected by students and professionals alike.
Avicenna’s approach to education and research extends beyond teaching—it includes a dedicated Research Center for Health and Longevity and a Continuous Professional Development Center that underscores its commitment to lifelong learning. Through these centers, students and faculty engage in meaningful scientific work, and professionals can evolve their skills even after graduation.
Life on campus is vibrant and inclusive. Avicenna draws students into a safe, multicultural environment in one of the most beautiful regions of Georgia. Beyond studies, students enjoy cultural events, sports, and academic gatherings such as student scientific conferences—activities that enrich both their personal growth and sense of community.
Finally, Avicenna has positioned itself for continued growth. The university regularly hosts summits, lectures, and open days—deepening its engagement with students, faculty, and the broader medical community.
