Specialist Pediatrics Prometric Exam

PED5391 is the Specialist Pediatrics Prometric paper. The code appears on your eligibility approval and on the Prometric booking screen — quote it when you book, because neighbouring grades of the same profession have their own codes and their own papers.

150 questions in 3 hours, which is about 1.2 minutes each. It is computer-based at a Prometric centre, and you can flag and revisit questions before you submit.

70% under the DHA guideline — roughly 105 correct answers out of 150. Nothing is deducted for wrong answers, so leave nothing blank. Other Gulf regulators publish their own thresholds for the same content, so confirm the figure with the authority you are applying to.

The published blueprint names 12 areas: Growth and Development Adolescent and behavior, Gastroenterology, Acute care (ER,PICU,NICU), Metabolic and Endocrine, Allergy / Immunology /Infectious Diseases, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Hematology/ Oncology, Neurology, Renal /Musculoskeletal, Professionalism and Ethics and Patient Safety. Our chapters use the same headings, so a weak chapter score points straight at the blueprint area to revisit.

No. DHA, MOHAP, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA and OMSB each license the Specialist Pediatrics title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper built on the same content. DOH runs its sitting through Pearson VUE instead. What changes between them is the pass mark, the classification tier and the attempt limit — so one body of preparation carries across, but each application is its own file.

DHA's exam guideline prices this sitting at USD 280, which is roughly AED 1,028 at the dirham peg. That is the test fee alone: the regulator's application charge and Dataflow verification are billed separately, and other Gulf authorities set their own amounts for the same paper.

It depends on the regulator. For the Specialist classification this paper belongs to: DHA asks for 3 years in specialty after board qualification; MOHAP asks for 3 years in specialty post-board; DOH asks for 5 years post-qualification (3 in specialty); SCFHS asks for 4 years post-qualification (2 in specialty); QCHP asks for 3 years in specialty after board qualification; NHRA asks for 3 years in specialty post-board; OMSB asks for 3 years in specialty post-board. Each authority counts those years against its own classification table, and they have to be backed by experience letters that survive Dataflow verification.

An eligibility approval from the regulator — your qualification and experience accepted against its classification rules — plus Dataflow primary source verification returned on your degree, licence and experience letters. The booking window opens after that, not before, which is why the paperwork should run in parallel with your revision.
