OMSB Anesthesia (OEA) study guide

The OMSB Anesthesia Board Examination is the specialty board assessment run under the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB), the autonomous Omani body whose stated mission is "developing specialized physicians and assuring the competencies of health care professionals for a healthier and a happier community." Anesthesia appears on the OMSB website as one of the listed Educational Programs, alongside specialties such as Adult Cardiology, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery and Pediatrics. The credential is aimed at physicians who have completed postgraduate anesthesia training in Oman or abroad and who need OMSB board certification to practise as specialists, and at candidates in the Professional Competence pathway whose qualifications require verification, equivalency or occupational classification. The examination department delivering it is organised into a Written Examination Section and a Clinical Examination Section, supported by an Item Bank Section and Examination Coordination Section, which is why candidates should expect both written and clinical components. The published OMSB examination window for the academic year 2026–2027 runs from 19 October 2026 to 30 November 2027; specific anesthesia dates, format, item counts, duration, fees and pass marks are not published on the page retrieved, so confirm them with OMSB directly.
