OMSB FAQs
What is the OMSB exam in Oman?
The OMSB (Oman Medical Specialty Board) exam is the licensing assessment foreign nurses, doctors and allied health professionals take to work in Oman, administered at Prometric centres. It is sometimes loosely called the 'MOH Oman' exam after the Ministry of Health which regulates the sector.
Do nurses in Oman need a Prometric or Pearson VUE exam?
Nurses in Oman sit the OMSB computer-based exam, which is delivered through Prometric testing centres. Candidates must first have their credentials verified and be approved for eligibility before they can book a sitting.
What are the OMSB nursing exam requirements?
You typically need a Bachelor's degree in nursing with a minimum number of years of clinical experience, a valid licence in your country of training, and primary source verification of your degree and experience. The exact years of experience vary by nursing level.
What does the OMSB exam test?
The OMSB exam tests nursing or medical knowledge relevant to your specialty, including clinical scenarios, patient safety and Oman's healthcare standards. It is multiple-choice and computer-based, with the pass threshold set by the licensing body.
How do I apply for the Oman nursing licence?
Your prospective employer in Oman generally initiates the licensing application. You provide verified credentials and, once approved for eligibility, book your OMSB Prometric exam and pass it before your licence is issued.
