Regarding Medical Residency in QATAR
Hiiii all, I am a MBBS graduate from India, I have finished all my USMLE Steps ( 1, 2, 3) and have some clinical experience in USA, we are planning to relocate to Qatar, can anyone please enlighten me about the procedure to apply for medical residency in Qatar, please anyone in detail can explain the time of application, eligibility requirements, selection process for this acad year 2013-3014. I have searched HMC website and inquired with spme frnds and family but did not get proper info. Any info is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Awaiting replies,

sir what is the medical criteria for selection at hmcf for resident trainee programme??
As u have previous clinical exp in US,the chances of you getting accepted are more.If u scored well in USMLE step 2 then there is 90% chance that u will be accepted.Wish u all the best.
No written exams.They shortlist candidates by looking at many things of which USMLE scores is very important.Furthermore they give much preference to HMC interns and those who have worked earlier in HMC.So i strongly advise you to enroll in an attachment programme.
HMC is the only place in Qatar that provide Medical residency programmes.And sorry for replying so late as i was so busy and didn't open my QL account.
Thanq tony... R u guys doctors ?! Should we have a Qatar RP ( residency permit) to apply for medical residency or is it ok even if we don't have it?
Thnx once again... :)
Thank you so much for the fast info Jamadori, i appreciate .. :) is there any written exam prerequisite exams to be qualified for the interviews or is it just getting short listed for interviews after application submission?! Are there any other hospitals offering medical residency or is it only the HMC ?!
details as mentioned by Jamadori but one more thing is that you must have completed MBBS in previous 2- 3 years or fresh .
If more than 3 years they may not accept you for residency
For Residency u just have to clear USMLE step 2 and score 90+.Step 1 and 3 aren't necessary.Regarding application date,they start receiving applications from May/June till October/November and all the documents can be submitted online through HMC website.If you are shortlisted then you will be called for an interview that will be held in Feb-March.And if you are selected in the interview then you can start your residency in June-July the same year.Anyways wish you best of luck!
