Programme Structure
The structure and format of the David Tvildiani Medical University MD curricula and the teaching management system are original. They are specially designed to increase the efficiency and comprehensibility of the learning process: Modules are integrated into organ – system oriented rotations. An academic year consists of 40 instructional weeks (240 instructional days) divided into two 20-week semesters: fall and spring semesters. The semesters are separated by holidays. On the basis of ECTS (Europe Credit Transfer and Accommodation System), 30 credits are attached to the workload of each 20-week semester. Thus, one academic year comprises 60 credits; one credit equals 30 working hours, 16 hours of which are contact hours, and 14 hours are intended for students’ independent work. The learning process is performed 6 days a week, 4 hours a day. Each rotation is concluded by a complex test – a quiz. Student knowledge assessment is a computer-based test that ensures maximal objectiveness.
The whole length of MD Program is 12 Semesters, or 6 years, of which the first 2 years are dedicated to Basic Medical Sciences and the following 3 years – to Clinical sciences. One additional year is spent in Clinic, practicing general medicine.
Students can sit USMLE Step 1 after completing the basic medical sciences, and USMLE Step 2 – after Completing Clinical Sciences.
The last 2 semesters – or the 6th year is Clinical practice, which the students can have in Hospitals in Georgia, or at their choice – in the USA.
After completing 6 years of education the University Diploma is issued and the degree of Doctor of Medicine –MD awarded.
