The history of higher medical education in Georgia starts from the medical faculty established at Tbilisi State University in 1918. On June 10, 1930 by the decision of the Faculty Council, the Faculty of Medicine was separated from Tbilisi State University and an independent higher education institution was established. The Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, Mikheil Chkhenkeli congratulated the 91st anniversary to the TSMU.
