The Student Room Group

Georgian Medical Schools

I've been waiting to go abroad to study medicine in Georgia. I originally planned to do graduate entry medicine at the European University, who confirmed that I needed to contact Medlink as they were the selected representatives. But, as expected, the GMC decided they would reject any graduate entry applicants wanting to practice in the UK. Now there is no reason to stay with European University. I am now stuck between choosing Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU) and European University.

I am thinking that TSMU is a government university, so is more credible compared to private universities. European University is also on the GMC's we may accept list, so is risky. Which one should I choose?

Isn't CIU on the GMC's we may accept list? Or are you not from the UK?

Hi where did you hear this? Can anybody confirm whether this is the case or not please. Tbf I don’t mind paying extra as long as the 1600 hours are definitely included within the programme.

The majority of people who have dealt with them will say they are in it for the money, so anyone who says otherwise is usually labelled a bot or part of the corporation. Be gone!
