Tashkent Medical Academy is one of the best and most prestigious medical universities. In April 2025, TMA was renamed Tashkent State Medical University. Shobhit Jayaswal visited Tashkent State Medical University in April 2025 and in previous years. He has interacted with many Indian students. The feedback received from the students is very positive regarding the quality of education, practical training and the city of Tashkent.

As Uzbekistan is one of the few countries that fulfils the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations 2021 (as per the universities in Uzbekistan), its popularity has increased significantly in recent years. MBBS in Uzbekistan has thus become a very attractive option for Indian students. More than 1,000 Indian students are already studying at Tashkent Medical Academy.

There used to be three medical universities in Tashkent. However, in 2025, it was decided that Tashkent State Medical University would be established based on the Tashkent Medical Academy, the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute and the Tashkent State Stomatological Institute.

Tashkent Medical Academy was established in July 2005 by the President of Uzbekistan through the merger of the First Tashkent State Medical Institute and the Second Tashkent State Medical Institute.

The MBBS course at TMA is 6 years, which includes a 1-year internship in Uzbekistan. The medium of instruction is English for the entire duration. However, students are required to learn the local language, which the university will teach from the first semester
