The university’s strong affiliations with leading hospitals and clinics in Tbilisi give students extensive exposure to patient care. Rotations in departments such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and gynecology are designed to strengthen students' diagnostic and communication skills.
To complement clinical rotations, TMA has invested in modern clinical skills labs where students learn essential procedures—such as taking patient histories, measuring vital signs, and performing basic examinations—using simulation mannequins and standardized patients.
