The OMSB surveys and evaluates all residency programs in Oman in each of its recognized specialties and subspecialties.

After completion of training in the specialty training program and passing all required examinations, the candidates shall obtain the OMSB Certification. This Certificate is professionally equivalent to PhD in medical specializations. OMSB requires each Resident to sit for three examinations- yearly End of Year Exam, Written Part I exam for the specialty certificate which requires a passing grade of at least 60% and the final Exit Examination for the specialty certificate which is conducted by OMSB in collaboration with Omani professors and external examiners from different Arab, European, and North American countries. This collaboration is related to training and evaluation including the basic and clinical aspects of the specialty, and a final oral and clinical exam.
