KIMS — General Surgery

Specialty Licensing Pathway

The official Ministry of Health and Prometric blueprint contains standalone specialist examinations for Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Critical Care, Anesthesia and Dermatology — and no General Surgery examination. General Surgery content appears only as a 15-item subsection within the General Practitioner examination.

Until the pathway is confirmed by the Kuwait Ministry of Health, internationally trained General Surgery specialists should contact the Ministry directly.

Programme duration is not independently confirmed. A five-year duration is confirmed programme by programme for Internal Medicine and Family Medicine only, and no KIMS-wide policy statement is published.
