Learn Beyond the Classroom

Studying medicine is more than attending lectures and passing examinations. Clinical learning, communication and understanding real healthcare environments are important parts of becoming a confident future doctor. Many international medical students studying in Georgia receive clinical exposure during their medical education. However, communicating with patients in an unfamiliar language can sometimes make clinical interaction more challenging.That is why FTO Groups created the Clinical Experience in India program.During vacation periods, eligible students can explore observership opportunities in India and gain additional exposure to clinical environments.

Observe. Learn. Communicate. Grow.

Use part of your vacation to continue learning medicine in a familiar environment.
