Education and Training

Delivery of quality care is profoundly affected by poorly educated medical professionals, especially in rural regions of Armenia. The absence of a mandatory continuous education system for medical professionals impedes the crucial ability to keep up to date on the ever-changing discoveries in the fast developing healthcare industry. Meduni UMSI recognizes the importance of continuing medical education and currently developing different programs and incentives. Thus we travel to Armenia every year to teach more medical professionals and increase standard of care. This year we invited over 120 medical professionals from different healthcare institutions to participate in our training program.
