Ministry of Health private-sector licence, General Dentist

Ministry of Health, Oman · ~6 months · ~OMR 185 · 7 steps

A dental degree, clinical experience (two years as consultancies report it; the ministry prints no figure), a DataFlow report, the OMSB general dentistry examination at a Pearson VUE centre and the ministry's viva. The establishment's application opens the file, so a job offer comes first.
