Oman medical exams

Hi.. If you want to work in Oman u need to clear an online prometric exam, which can be taken from any prometric center in the world, and a viva at the Ministry of Health, Oman at Muscat. You can apply for the prometric by yourself but for viva you can apply only through a sponsor, which can be any govt or private set up. With less than 3 years experience post MS, you can write the exam but you will only get a Junior specialist licence, which means you cannot do surgeries independently, though you can see OP patients. Your GP experience will not count for specialist. If you have American Board or UK degrees you need not write any exam!!!!!!!
