Saudi Licensure Examination — Internal Medicine
Route Overview
Internationally trained specialists are classified by SCFHS at one of two grades — Registrar or Senior Registrar — and the grade you apply for sets the pass mark you must reach on the same paper. Classification, exam registration and licence issuance all run through Mumaris Plus.
Eligibility & Classification
| Grade | Pass mark |
|---|---|
| Registrar | 65% |
| Senior Registrar | 70% |
| Consultant | Not published |
SCFHS does not publish a Consultant-grade pass mark for the Classification Exams.
Credential Verification
Before SCFHS will process your application, your qualifications must be verified at source through DataFlow — your medical school, postgraduate training body and current licensing authority are contacted directly.
Begin it early. It runs in parallel with nothing else and depends on institutions outside your control responding.
SCFHS publishes no verification fee.
