The State of Healthcare in Armenia
Boston University-Armenia Medical Partnership
395 Concord Ave, Belmont, MA
Panel Discussion on Armenia's Healthcare System
Armenia's health system is at a structural inflection point. In 2026, Armenia launched Universal Health Care, the most consequential health-system reform in the country's history since independence. To deliver on that promise, Armenia has committed to a range of transformational advances, including a competency-based medical education model.
Hear from seven Armenian physician-educators driving this change, all candidates in the Boston University Master's in Health Professions Education program and leaders in their departments and institutions in Armenia.
