Sameeha Ali Khan

My time at Ilia State University was one of the most meaningful and unforgettable chapters of my life. Moving to Tbilisi to study medicine helped me grow both academically and personally. I learned so much throughout these years, not only about medicine but also about resilience, independence, and myself. The experience shaped me into a better and stronger version of myself while deepening my passion for surgery.

What made this journey truly special were the amazing and unforgettable moments I shared with the people around me. I met incredible friends who became like family, and I know many of those friendships will stay with me for the rest of my life. From stressful exam days to joyful celebrations and late-night study sessions, every memory became a part of my journey. I will always be grateful to Ilia State University for the lessons, experiences, and memories that will stay with me forever.
