Specialist Hematopathology Prometric Exam

HEM4711 is the DHA code for the Specialist Hematopathology Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 13 areas: red cell disorders, benign white cell disorders, bone marrow failure syndromes, bleeding disorders, thrombophilia, myeloproliferative disorders, acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes, lymphoproliferative disorders (including plasma cell dyscrasias), transfusion medicine, patient safety, bone marrow transplant and its complications, hematologic emergencies and complications and professionalism and ethics. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 7 named reference texts, so revision that ignores it is revision spent on the wrong material.

The sitting is 100 multiple-choice questions in 3 hours — about 1.8 minutes per question — delivered on computer at a Prometric test centre. The 60% pass mark works out at roughly 60 correct answers out of 100. Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer, so an unanswered question is the only guaranteed zero on the paper.

The paper is sat by doctors applying for a licence under the Specialist Hematopathology professional title. Specialist is a graded title: the regulator checks your specialty certificate and post-qualification years against its classification table, and a mismatch there is refused on classification rather than on the paper. In practice the exam is rarely the bottleneck: the regulator has to accept your qualification and experience, and Dataflow has to return primary source verification, before a booking slot exists at all. Start that paperwork alongside your revision rather than after it.

This bank holds 200 explained questions cut to the same headings as the HEM4711 outline, each with written reasoning that also rules out the distractors. Retries are unlimited, and the timed mocks run at the real 100-question, 3-hour, 60%-to-pass settings — so the first time you sit this paper at full pace is not the morning it counts.

One body of content, seven regulators. DHA in Dubai, MOHAP across the UAE, DOH in Abu Dhabi, SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, NHRA in Bahrain and OMSB in Oman all license the Specialist Hematopathology title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper, and the overlap between them is substantial. What differs is the pass mark, the classification tier they will grade you into, and how many attempts they allow — not the medicine.
