Hii dr.mmu,

           The viva would be conducted by a panel of examiners from the govt hospitals. They may ask anything from any speciality at GP level, but mostly from emergency medicine and general medicine. Go through Oxford handbook of emergency medicine and clinical specialities. all the best.

Hi.. for preparing it is best to grab on oxford handbook of clinical medicine and emergency medicine... Viva .... They ask clinical scenarios... They act as they are the patients... For me they asked .... Fever with rash in children.... What all we will ask de parents... what all we will check in the patients. How will u manage if that child starts convulsing...and how about treating dehydration in that child. Another  doctor asked me an unconscious pt comes to u in ur clinic. U are alone .. how will u manage.... The answer they expect us to give is ....check the vitals and glucose level..then they said Bp is 200/100 and nrml glucose.  Thiis is a  case of hypertensive emergency... i would start on oxygen and gain iv acess and immediately refer the pt to higher centre. Next there was a pharmacist. Asked diclofenac dose,and what drug u will give along with dt fr low back ache. U should definitely learn dose of all drugs.... Diazepam suppositry dose, diclofenac tablet and injection dose.amoxicillin and paracetamol dose. Some other questions were... Child with earache ,man with  earache . Man with redeye.  Epigastric pain. AF, ACS, DKA, hypoglycemia,VT,preclampsia. Headinjury. And know about poisoning that can cause hyperthermia and convulsions..  when a child comes with convulsion first time, how will u manage... Make sure u say i will check salicylate ,amphetamine,pmol level..

Hello, I want some guidance regarding viva exam for gynaecologists? Do they stick to topics & scenarios related to "gynae & obs only" or they ask any scenario covering general medicine,surgery,paeds.....
Is it an OSCE based exam or long cases or both?
Is viva exam date taken in the same way as written exam date (means the candidate herself/himself chooses an exam date)

Hi.. i passed omsb prometric exam in orthopedics..iam going to sit for viva... any one can help me...wt to read and the major topics

To whom it may concern,

I am hoping to immigrate to Oman and continue my medical practice there. I took “Oman Medical Specialty Board, Family Medicine” last month at one of the Prometric test centers in Turkey. I achieved a mark of 57, which is above the minimum requirement of 55. I am, however, wondering whether I should take the exam one more time to hopefully achieve a higher mark. My question would be: is the result of Prometric exam treated as pass/fail or is the mark used to weight the application, therefore a higher mark resulting in a higher chance of acceptance? Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Yousef Najian Tabriz
General Practitioner

Dear Dr Yousef,

I am afraid you might've to reappear for the exam. Although the marksheet mentions that you have passed, the actual pass mark for foreigners is 60%. The OMSB website mentions this too. The same thing happened to me and I had to retake the exam. All the best.

Best regards,
Dr Asha
