The certificate of the Egyptian Board is a professional certificate in which the doctor trains on a specific specialty. The doctor enters the program for 5 years, part of it is compulsory in the universities and part in the health or army hospitals or hospitals accredited by CEMTA, Thus, each doctor gets the same level of training and has the same efficiency when he gets Egyptian Board certificate.
The training is divided into two parts: First, the infrastructure, where the training will be conducted, in terms of availability of certain requirements from outside clinics, operating rooms, intensive care, and testing devices so that the doctor can perform the basic training tasks. So that we evaluate the infrastructure and whether the conditions are met or not, and it is expected that most university hospitals will be eligible for training, then the educational hospitals in the Ministry of Health, and any hospital that meets the criteria will enter automatically.
The training of the student has nothing to do with the exam, because it will be a central examination by a committee of the Authority, and the exam will be through a "question bank" and not by a specific person, and therefore the coach has nothing to do with the exam, it only trains the student on certain skills so that the student is eligible to enter The final exam was set by the Central Committee of the Commission at the level of the Republic.
The exam will be at the national level and in the same punishment for all students in places equipped for the exam, and after passing the examination, the student can obtain a license to practice the profession.
