The Libyan International Medical University (Arabic: الجامعة الليبية الدولية للعلوم الطبية) is a private university established in Benghazi, Libya, with the purpose of teaching medicine. It is the first private medical university in the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (GSPLAJ). It is also Libya's only accredited private medical university. The university's doors were opened to enrolled students on October 15, 2007. According to University references, over 200 students had enrolled in the University under its various Faculties: One of the University's major points is its focus on international partnerships and meeting the level of other international medical teaching institutes. The teaching policy emulates those of many established universities and is mainly problem-based learning. The National Quality Assurance committee of Libya visited all the universities to evaluate them on two bases; facilities and program. The Libyan International Medical University attained a very advanced position in this evaluation (in both aspects). The Libyan Ministry of Health granted LIMU students the privilege of training at the national health care centers and hospitals.
