Tbilisi Medical Academy is one of the first private medical schools in the history of independent Georgia. TMA was founded by a notable Georgian physician and pediatric surgeon, Prof. Petre Shotadze. From its humble beginnings in 1992 for almost 30 years, TMA is one of the pioneers of medical education in Georgia and remains to be one of the most competitive and dynamically developing institutions. During these years we have trained hundreds of successful physicians who currently work in the leading clinics in Georgia and abroad.

TMA, as a student-oriented higher education institution, primarily seeks to teach and advance the capacity of national and international healthcare professionals innovatively by using evidence-based knowledge, whilst practically benefiting the community in Georgia through research-based outreach activities.

The main goal of TMA is to elaborate independent and critical thinking, scientific reasoning abilities, and reasonable judgments among students, to support their development into highly qualified specialists.
