Dear All,
Last week I went to SCFHS to complete my registration. Now, only pending is SLE IM after which I will get SCFHS license (Hopefully). So, i decided to create a thread to explains the general requirements for SCFHS registration and classification. Steps are applicable for applicants applying inside Saudi Arabia. For the applicants who are applying for outside KSA. They just need to get SLE eligibility from MUMARIS and take the exam outside KSA (BTW you can also take exam inside KSA after getting eligibility from MUMARIS). Rest of the requirements will be same as for registration and classification applicant has to be present in KSA. In most cases, it is done by your employer so you dont have to worry. But, I've heard that DATAFLOW is needed to be done by the employee.
First thing to understand is that there are two steps. First is Registration i-e fill form, submit documents, pay fee etc and then Classification i-e related Saudi Licensing Exam. Below are the general requirements.
Requirements for professional classification and registration
1. Completing the professional classification and registration application forms.
2. Authenticated copies of the practitioner’s qualifications to be classified (Dataflow outcome/reciept required)
3. Copy of the internship certificate if applicable, the academic record, and a previous practice registration certificate (if any).
4. Authenticated copy of the last experience certificates (one year minimum duration if applicable).(Dataflow outcome/reciept required)
6. A copy of the national ID for Saudi nationals and a copy of the residence permit and passport for non-Saudis.
7. Two recent photographs.
8. A valid basic life support certificate. (get from any reputable hopsital in KSA. Will cost you SR 350)
11. A Medical insurance policy against medical mal-practice for physicians and dentists which covers the period of the requested registration. (Tawuniya insurance for 3 years will cost you SR 1950, requirements are degree and iqama copy only, You may check from other companies as well for cheaper options, but tawuniya is recommended)
12. Payment of the fee. (SR 1580 for 3 years license, can be made by credit card at SCFHS office).
Once you have all the above mentioned documents. Just go to nearby SCFHS office (working hours 8 am to 3:30 am). Show the documents to secretary and get the number. Show the documents to your officer upon calling your number. If you already took SLE then include SLE result in your documents and you will get the license right away (it takes 5 minutes to print the card). If you havent take SLE then officer will give you the receipt with eligibility number. MAKE SURE THAT ON RECEIPT, HE HAS GIVEN YOU CORRECT CLASSIFICATION. In my case, first time he gave "General Practitioner" but I managed to get a revised one with "Internal Medicine Resident" by showing him 2 years of PG training in Internal Medicine. Use that eligibility number to register for related SLE on prometric/Pearson vue website (SLE fee is SR 300) Upon passing SLE, provide result to officer and get your license.
Only Dataflow (for degree and latest experience) is required for SCFHS registraiton. Usually it takes 35 working days to get the outcome but you can proceed even by showing the dataflow receipt as soon as you apply. Degree attestation is not required. But, I have heard that it is required at the time of iqama transfer. I dont know it yet as I havent transferred my iqama.
Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
Good luck to all.
