The International Center for Professional Development (ICPD) was conceived in Armenia as a beacon of continuous learning and skill enhancement in the field of healthcare sciences. It aims to offer invaluable resources and opportunities for medical practitioners, health professionals, and biomedical technology experts.

At the heart of the Center’s activities are live conferences, online modules, workshops, and immersive simulations. These innovative methods are employed to introduce the latest healthcare advancements to specialists. While its influence is deeply felt within Armenia and Artsakh, the ICPD's reach extends to neighboring countries and further afield, making it a global force for professional development in healthcare.

The foundation of this revolutionary Center was laid down through the synergistic efforts of Drs. Rafi Avitsian, Ara Babloyan, and Gevorg Yaghjyan. For years, they championed the cause of delivering quality education to professionals in the region, eventually realizing their vision through the establishment of the ICPD. The initial offering of online lectures quickly evolved as Dr. Ara Nazarian joined the trailblazing trio, adding his valuable support to the Center's activities.

The idea of creating a nonprofit entity, dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable, and ongoing medical education, was enthusiastically received by several key organizations. This included the Ministry of Health, the National Institute of Health, and various specialty societies in Armenia. ICPD, constantly growing and developing, is committed to elevating the number and quality of educational resources and high-impact conferences available to physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers.
