The latest information about the Myrat Garryyev State Medical University of Turkmenistan is included in the World Directory of Medical Schools.

The mission of the World Directory is to compile a list of all medical schools in the world with accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive information about the schools. And its main goal is to help applicants and regulatory authorities in the field of medicine make informed decisions regarding medical universities and their graduates, as well as to inform researchers and members of the public about the features of current as well as past medical education curricula around the world.

The World Directory is a joint venture of the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME) and the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER). The Directory was created by merging the information contained in the International Directory of Medical Education FAIMER (IMER) and the WFME Directory "Avicenna". Both organizations are collaborating to identify new schools to include in the catalogue and update existing school records.

The University was founded in 1931 under the name of the Turkmen State Medical Institute. In 2010, the TSMI was abolished, and the State Medical University of Turkmenistan was established on its basis. In 2019, by the Resolution of the Mejlis of Turkmenistan, the State Medical University of Turkmenistan was named after the prominent political and public figure Myrat Garryyev.
