This guide is for one profession. For the exam for every profession, the fee and the booking, see the Oman (OMSB) exam guide.

Are you a pharmacist planning to work in Oman?

Before you can begin your career there, you must clear the Oman Prometric Exam conducted by the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB)—a mandatory step for obtaining your professional license.

In this blog, you’ll find a complete step-by-step guide on how to apply, prepare, and qualify for your Oman pharmacist license—along with how Trueway International supports you through DataFlow, Good Standing Certificates, Prometric exam booking, attestation, and visa guidance.

Who Should Take the Oman Prometric Exam?

The OMSB Prometric exam is mandatory for:

• B.Pharm graduates
• M.Pharm holders
• Pharmacy Technicians
• Clinical Pharmacists

Both Indian-educated and internationally qualified pharmacists must complete this process before they can legally practice in Oman.
