SCFHS Prometric Exam: Saudi Arabia Medical License Guide 2026
How to get licensed by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties: Mumaris+ registration, professional classification, SCFHS Prometric exam format, pass marks and fees explained.
Saudi Arabia is the largest healthcare employer in the GCC, with Vision 2030 driving massive hospital expansion. Licensure runs through the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) — here's the complete route.
The SCFHS process at a glance
- Create a Mumaris+ account
- DataFlow primary source verification
- Professional classification — SCFHS assigns your title (e.g. Specialist, Technician, Nurse)
- Pass the SCFHS Prometric exam for your category
- Registration and licence issuance
Professional classification: the step people underestimate
SCFHS classifies you based on your degree, transcript and verified experience. Submitting weak experience letters can land you a lower title — and a lower salary band. Get the paperwork right the first time; our consultants review files before submission.
SCFHS Prometric exam format
- Questions: typically 70–150 MCQs depending on specialty
- Duration: 2–3 hours
- Pass score: commonly around 60% (scaled per exam)
- Where: any Prometric centre worldwide or remote proctoring where offered
What the questions look like
Scenario-based clinical MCQs aligned with Saudi protocols. Nurses face heavy medical-surgical, pharmacology and fundamentals content; GPs get broad internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN and emergency coverage. Practise with our SCFHS-pattern question banks.
Fees
- Mumaris+ classification: SAR 300–500
- DataFlow: USD ~270
- Prometric exam: USD 90–280 by category
