TSMU Assistant Professor  Davit Tskhomelidze, nominated as the most active lecturer, expressed his satisfaction that the students were interested and have the courage to represent their works to the audience in foreign language. This is a big experience for them. There are a lot of good students at the University, but due to the language barrier they restrain themselves from representing their thoughts in foreign language. This complex should  be removed and Georgian students will be able to  submit their accomplishments and thoughts in the language understandable for the others, thereby improving students’ motivation and learning level at  Tbilisi State Medical University. We will maintain the students in every way that they can be better prepared, as specialists, and to be able to present themselves not only in their home country but also abroad. The university administration and full team of academic staff are promoting this direction.  Students’ XV Scientific-Training Talks In  informal environment was ended by  small  stand-up lunch.
