A Genuine, Significant Information Gap Worth Stating Plainly
Before anything else, this needs to be said clearly and honestly, rather than papered over with confident-sounding but ultimately invented detail. Despite substantial, dedicated research effort, including multiple searches specifically targeting this institution by name, no reliable, verifiable, institution-specific information could be located for "International University of Tbilisi, School of Health" under that exact name. So, unlike every other university profiled in this series, this document cannot responsibly present specific founding dates, fee figures, named teaching hospitals, or admissions details as confirmed fact, because none of these could actually be verified.
Here's the genuinely important context behind this gap. Georgia's higher education sector includes a considerable number of similarly named private institutions actively using the word "International" in their branding, including the International Teaching University of Georgia, formerly Tbilisi Teaching University Gorgasali, the International Black Sea University, and the Georgian International University, formerly Guram Tavartkiladze Tbilisi Teaching University, among others. None of these institutions matched the specific name "International University of Tbilisi, School of Health" precisely enough to be confidently identified as the same institution during this research. So, it's genuinely possible this name refers to one of these institutions under a variant or unofficial translation, a smaller institution with minimal online presence, or a programme that has since been renamed, merged, or discontinued, and applicants should treat clarifying the institution's exact current legal name and status as the essential first step before proceeding any further.
This kind of gap, while genuinely unusual, isn't unprecedented within Georgia's crowded private higher education market specifically. Georgia has more than 60 universities in total, many of them smaller private institutions with limited English-language web presence, and several have gone through multiple name changes, mergers, or ownership transitions over the past two decades, sometimes making it genuinely difficult to trace a precise, current, and internationally documented profile from publicly available sources alone.
What Can Be Said With Genuine Confidence About Studying Medicine in Georgia Generally
While this specific institution's details couldn't be confirmed, some general context about medical education in Georgia is genuinely well established and worth including, provided it's clearly labelled as general context rather than confirmed fact about this particular institution. Georgian medical degrees typically run six years, taught in English at institutions catering to international students, generally combining a five-year academic programme with a compulsory one-year internship. Tuition at Georgia's private medical universities generally falls somewhere between roughly USD 4,000 and 8,000 a year, based on the pattern seen across comparable Georgian institutions covered elsewhere in this series, though this range should not be treated as confirmed for this specific university.
NEET remains a genuine requirement for Indian applicants at any Georgian medical university, exactly as it does for MBBS study in most other countries, and Indian graduates would still need to clear the FMGE or NExT exam to practise medicine back in India, regardless of which specific Georgian institution they attend.

What Applicants Should Genuinely Do Before Considering This Institution Further
Verify the Institution's Exact Legal Name and Current Status First
Given the genuine ambiguity here, the single most important step for any applicant is to independently verify this institution's exact, current, officially registered name directly through Georgia's National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement, NCEQE, the country's own higher education accreditation authority, before proceeding with any application or financial commitment.
Cross-Check Against Georgia's Better-Documented Medical Universities
Given how many similarly named Georgian institutions exist, applicants should specifically confirm they are not confusing this institution with a different, better-documented Georgian university, several of which are covered elsewhere in this series with genuinely confirmed founding histories, fee structures, and recognition status.
Honest Assessment
Be completely upfront about the reality here. Unlike every other institution covered in this series, this document cannot responsibly provide confirmed, institution-specific details about founding history, tuition fees, named teaching hospitals, or admissions requirements, because none of these could be reliably verified from available sources under this exact institutional name. This is a genuine, significant limitation, not a minor gap, and it should be treated as a serious caution flag rather than glossed over.
So, who should proceed here, and how? Only applicants willing to conduct extensive, direct, independent verification, starting with Georgia's own NCEQE accreditation registry, and only after confirming this institution's genuine, current legal existence and standing, should consider it further. Given the genuinely serious nature of this information gap, most applicants would be better served by considering one of Georgia's better-documented medical universities, several of which are covered with genuinely confirmed detail elsewhere in this series, unless and until this specific institution's status can be independently verified.
