Armenia’s National Center to Ensure Quality Professional Education has started to inspect medical colleges and universities that have not yet received institutional certification.

Staffers from the center first visited the Armenian Medical Institute and met with Levon Asatryan, the school’s rector.

Asatryan said the institute plans to file for certification this year.

The center plans to visit the Saint Theresa Medical University, the University of traditional Medicine, and the Yerevan University of Management, among others.

Among universities providing medical training, only the State Medical University in Yerevan has institutional certification.
