Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University came into existence in the year 1923 in the city of Batumi, Georgia. The course of medicine, however, was introduced in 1990 thereby having a history of little over 3 decades of teaching medicine. It is one of the very few government Universities in Georgia and hence reliable for international students to pursue an MBBS abroad. The medical aspirants from India might not want to take a chance to study not just here but anywhere in Georgia since there is no Indian embassy in Georgia which imples your do not have any sort of institution representing your own nation during your 5 year stay there in Georgia. Anyway, speaking of the faculty at the University, there are professors and researchers amounting to 273 and 71 respectively. Besides, there are as many as 387 visiting professors at the University. The clinical exposure is low due to population of Batumi city being approximately 2 Lakhs. The courses incorporate both professional and research aspects. The University further happens to be affiliated with leading medical universities abroad and this is a great convenience for students to participate in scientific seminars and other research programs.
