OMSB Exam for Radiographers
Everything radiographers need to pass the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) licensing exam in Oman — format, fees, passing score, syllabus focus and the fastest way to prepare.
The OMSB pathway for radiographers
Radiographers and imaging technologists sit an allied-health Prometric exam spanning radiographic technique, cross-sectional anatomy, radiation physics and safety. Modality specialisations (CT, MRI, mammography, cath lab) strengthen both classification and job offers.
Radiation safety and dose optimisation are disproportionately weighted on every GCC paper — regulators treat them as licence-critical knowledge.
OMSB certifies physicians in Oman; MOH Oman handles allied health, nursing and pharmacy licences. Read the full OMSB licensing guide for the complete document checklist and fee breakdown.
