A Novel Approach to Aid Med-Students Through Expert Guidance and Mentorship
The Alumni Department was formed to provide guidance to current medical students in Georgia through the complex journey toward residency and clinical practice. With firsthand experience in both GIMSOC's operations and post-graduate transitions, our alumni are uniquely equipped to offer mentorship and direction.
We prepare students for life during and after med school by holding multiple events and running two crucial programs that help students with their future endeavours.
This comprehensive program connects medical students with experienced alumni who provide academic, professional, and personal guidance for their university life.
This focused program connects recently graduated students to alumni members with expertise to explore post-graduation opportunities across multiple countries.
Our Postgraduate Education Consultation program provides expert guidance for opportunities across six key countries, helping you navigate applications, exams, and career pathways.
Our alumni network spans across the globe, with graduates successfully practicing in prestigious institutions and making significant contributions to healthcare worldwide.
Through our programs, students gain access to this wealth of experience and expertise, receiving guidance that has been proven to lead to successful medical careers.
Together, these initiatives aim to empower GIMSOC students with the guidance and clarity they need to navigate the next steps of their medical careers with confidence and support. Our alumni network continues to grow, creating an ever-expanding resource of mentorship and opportunity for current students.
Hear from our pioneering alumni board members who laid the foundation for our mentorship programs and continue to inspire future medical leaders.
As former President of the Alumni Committee, I am pleased to say that my experience on the Alumni board was deeply purpose-driven. Our vision was clear – 1) serve as a guiding voice for our undergraduates and junior doctors; 2) offer direction, mentorship, and country-specific advice for postgraduate education. We also set out to build a supportive network for medical students to help them navigate the complex transition, from academia to clinical practice. Being part of the pioneering team that launched the Alumni body, I take great pride in helping build a system that will benefit young and ambitious minds for years to come.

Serving as the Alumni Vice President of GIMSOC was a rewarding experience, that allowed me to connect with aspiring physicians in need of guidance. GIMSOC has provided us with a bridge, between the future and the present of medicine, which is truly phenomenal. During my tenure, I'm glad to say that I've shared the stage with some truly outstanding medical professionals, and safe to say, I know GIMSOC is going to reach heights that we cannot comprehend. Just happy to know that, I was part of it and we built that! Leading this Alumni team was a rollercoaster, a lesson and an irreplaceable experience all rolled in one, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
