Saudi Board Part One General Surgery Registration: Eligibility and Steps

Last checked: 10 November 2026. Check everything in the Registration for Saudi Board Examinations service guide and on the trainee page of the SCFHS website. This guide is independent: it is not affiliated with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) or any government body. It cannot register on your behalf.

In short: you usually do not need to apply separately. Once you are eligible, SCFHS registers you automatically in Mumaris+ and notifies you of the date and city, and the service is free.

Eligibility

1. At least nine months of training in any Saudi Board programme.
2. Valid registration in an SCFHS postgraduate programme.
3. Any further conditions set by the Education and Training Council.

Registration steps

1. Eligibility is checked automatically from your training level.
2. SCFHS registers you for the exam that is due.
3. You are notified of the registration, date and city, and can request an available change such as the city.

There is also an Apply to Postgraduate Exam service in Mumaris+ (log in, then choose Exams) for current trainees, also free.

Fees

Both service guides list the service as free. We found no other published fee for the exam itself.

Dates and attempts

• The exam is held once a year on a date published on the examination dates page.
• Up to four attempts, after which the trainee is removed from the programme, under the Executive Rules for Assessment (1441 AH).
