OMSB — Pediatrics
Programme duration: 4 years.
Route Overview

Classification levels and experience are as set out on the OEGP page: Specialist Level 2 requires 0 years post-specialisation, Level 3 requires 3; Consultant Level 2 requires 6, Level 3 requires 12.
Exam Specification
Question count, duration, pass mark and attempts for the specialist classification examinations are not published. The specialty booklets are not available in a readable form.
Content Blueprint
MCI Academy coverage guide, not an official blueprint. OMSB publishes a blueprint for the General Practitioner examination only.
Fees
Not published for every item except the Article 17 annual training fee of 3,000–5,000 OMR per academic year.
A separate OMSB Pediatrics blueprint document exists showing a 55% pass mark with domain weightings — Growth and Development 15%, Acute Care 15%, Allergy and Infectious Diseases 10%, Respiratory 10%, Neurology 10% and others. Which examination stage it governs is not stated in the document, and it appears to describe an end-of-year training examination rather than the classification examination. It is not used as the basis for classification exam preparation.
