Hi, I am a Pathologist,  I'm trying to give prometric for oman,  can you guide me is there separate exam for histopathology,  how to prepare for prometric

hii Ravi...I am also Pathologist working in Oman. I had given prometric for post of Clinical Pathologist. They will ask you Hematology, blood banking, Biochemistry and Microbiology. Read Robbins Genetics chapter also as there will be few questions from Genetics. They won't ask Histopathology for Clinical Pathology.

go through this link.

Hi there,  Thank you very much for reply,  how much biochemistry and microbiology do we have to read,  as you know we have limited exposure in those areas,  did you use any MCQ books

Ravi wen i appeared for prometric i didnt knw that there will e biochemistry and microbiology questions. For microbiology refer Ananthnarayan textbook. Read streilisation and media chapter thoroughly and go through all major bacterias just superficially. For example preferred culture media and transport medium and other specific characteristics. Read biochemistry from Practical Clinical Biochemistry: Methods and Interpretations Book by Ranjana Chawla....

Thank you very much for the insight given by you,  can you guide me for the possible websites where the Pathologist openings are posted for oman and qatar as you know it is all posted by agents only,  is it the norm there,  can you guide me to prepare for smooth dataflow method

I got this job through consultancy....Through naukri.com

Good Morning . i am epidemiologist , looking to pass prometric , but i can find my speciality under the list. anyone can guide me how  to apply and under which speciality. is epidemiology well known here in oman, is any chance to get a job for it?

hi pinky, sorry to bother you again, i got a call from Aster oman for the post of consultant histopathologist, they told i have to come for interview only as there is no exam for consultants, is it true there, they want me to join in a month time. if they ask for prometric for histopathologist what sort of exam it will be, do they need certificate attestations and dataflow, as the consultancy person said they won't need attestations and dataflow, but just an interview. How far is it true, please guide.

Hi everyone.. I am planning to take the omsb exam in sohar for GP . Can anyone guide me about the books and other online material needed for preparation of the exam. It would be a great pleasure if anyone can guide me about the time i should spent on preparation too before sitting for the GP exam.
Thanking in advance

Yes..... you will have to read Oxford handbook of clinical specialities, OH of general practice and OH of emerg medicine.
The questions asked are clinical mcqs.
The list of topics asked is given in the website of omsb. If you have good clinical experience, you should pass. All the best.

Thanku so much Amena. I'll definitely read these books. Should i purchase online question bank too?

Online question banks are useless and misleading..... if u want, u can buy a book "Rapid Access guide for DHA for GP"....info is available on their website... just search online .... u can contact them on their number in sharjah....
