MUSCAT: A total of 198 physicians from various health institutions in the Sultanate of Oman have enrolled in the specialised training programmes for the academic year 2025/2026 at the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB).
This includes 72 doctors from the internship programme and four physicians who joined local fellowship programmes in paediatric cardiology at the Royal Hospital, adult haematology at the University Medical City (Sultan Qaboos University Hospital), and otology and otologic surgery at Al Nahdha Hospital.
In his speech during the orientation day for the newly enrolled physicians, Dr Hood al Abri, Vice-President for Academic Affairs at OMSB, emphasised that the next phase of specialised medical education isn’t limited to acquiring theoretical knowledge in their respective fields. “It is an intensive experience that will take you to advanced stages of clinical excellence, where knowledge, skill and behaviour are integrated to enable you to make sound decisions for your patients and in work environments in general,” he said.
Dr Raihana al Majini, Head of the Institutional and Training Programmes Accreditation Section at the OMSB, gave a detailed presentation on the components of the advanced medical education training programmes and their importance in enabling trainee physicians to complete their training journey. She discussed what is expected of the trainees and what they can expect from the programme, explaining the mechanisms for training structure, performance evaluation, quality monitoring and tracking trainee progress.
