Leaders from Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences and the International Education Exchange Association recently visited Georgia State University to strengthen their collaboration and address the global shortage of medical doctors.
According to a press release, the visit primarily aimed to renew the collaboration supporting a special pre-med program that was established in 2018. This program was created through a partnership between MNUMS, IEEA, and Georgia State. Its purpose is to provide Korean students with a solid academic foundation at Georgia State, where they can pursue bachelor’s degrees in biology or chemistry with a focus on pre-med.
Upon completion of their undergraduate studies, the graduates proceed to MNUMS for their medical studies. To foster continued cooperation and explore potential future partnerships, two Memoranda of Cooperation were signed—one between Georgia State and MNUMS, and another between Georgia State and IEEA.
The delegation, led by President Khurelbaatar Nyamdavaa of MNUMS and Dr. Jay Jongyul Lee representing IEEA, engaged in discussions with prominent figures at Georgia State University.
Attendees included President M. Brian Blake, Provost Nicolle Parsons-Pollard, Interim Associate Provost for International Initiatives Carrie Manning, Senior Vice President for Student Success Allison Calhoun-Brown, Vice President for Student Engagement and Programs Michael Sanseviro, as well as representatives from the Office of Admissions and the Office of International Initiatives.
“We are thrilled to have hosted this distinguished delegation and to renew our partnership with MNUMS and IEEA for this career-oriented pathway program,” said Manning.
While the initial purpose of the visit was to renew partnerships in international students’ pre-medical study and training, the delegation also took the opportunity to familiarize themselves with Georgia State’s Institute for Biomedical Science and the highly regarded Health Law program.
President Nyamdavaa, former Health Minister of Mongolia, expressed his anticipation for expanded collaboration between the institutions in the future.
This high-level visit and the renewed Memoranda of Cooperation between MNUMS, IEEA, and Georgia State University serve as a testament to Georgia State’s global impact in higher education and its commitment to addressing the worldwide shortage of medical doctors.
Georgia State University, established in 1913, is renowned for its academic rigor and transformative impact on students, enrolling over 52,000 students from 150 countries and all states in the US.
