The role of leadership in medical education is increasingly critical in developing well-rounded healthcare professionals who can navigate complex clinical, administrative, and ethical challenges. In Georgia, where the healthcare and education systems are undergoing substantial reform, leadership training in medical education remains underdeveloped and inconsistently applied across institutions. The purpose of this research is to examine the current state of leadership education within Georgian medical universities and identify opportunities for its systematic integration into medical curricula. The central research question guiding this study is: How can leadership education be effectively incorporated into Georgian medical education to better prepare future healthcare leaders? The hypothesis is that leadership is widely recognized as a valuable skill by both educators and students, but lacks structured implementation, clear objectives, and formal evaluation in most Georgian medical programs. A mixed-methods approach is used, combining qualitative interviews with medical faculty and policymakers, and quantitative surveys distributed to medical students across several universities in Georgia. The study’s findings aim to contribute to evidence-based strategies for embedding leadership development in medical education, in line with international best practices and national education reform goals.
