DUBAI RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAMME(DRTP)

DRTP is a relatively new residency training programme, started in 2006. It is accertified by Arabian board, North American Board and Royal college(U.K). It accepts 50 intakes once in a year. Intakes are selected on the basis of a pre-evaluation test.

The specialities are:

1)Internal Medicine
2)General Surgery
3) General Pediatrics
4)Family Medicine
5)Obstetrics and Gynecology
6) Community Medicine
7)Emergency Medicine
8)Psychiatry
9)Dermatology

Eligibility:
1) Basic Medical Graduation from a WHO recognized institution
2) 1 year Internship
3) A residency visa of UAE or a resident of GCC countries.
* UAE nationals are given priority.

DURATION:
The residency duration is 4-6 years depending upon the speciality

PAY:
The pay during residency as of 2010 is dhs 7000/month.

The Pre-Evaluation Test:
It is made up of two Parts.
Written Examination
There is 120 question MCQ paper covering the broad topics of
undergraduate medical curriculum and set at a level of difficulty
approximating the MCCE but in the USMLE format.

GET SAMPLE QUESTIONS HERE

Oral Interview
Only candidates who achieve the passing score in the MCQ paper are
invited for the Oral Interview.

The problem is that it is not guaranteed that even if u pass the mcq and interview of the pre-evaluation test you will get the residency , as there are only 50 intakes once in a year, the admission is competetive. In the case that you do not get selected you may re apply for the residency next year carrying your previous mcq marks, but you will have to give the interview again.

The main criteria to get selected for DRTP are:

1. DHA Needs
2. Appraisal of Internship
3. Career Choice
4. Success at Pre entry Evaluation Examination.

If u have done your graduation, internship, meet all the requirements and made your choice for the programme then visit the following site and fill the online application form.
