Kuwait Board In Dentistry Program
The board of trustees of KIMS have decided to initiate full-fledged residency programs in all different specialties in medicine and dentistry as of November 2010. All programs are designed as five (5) years structured programs. Successful completion of the program will lead to the conferral of the “Kuwait Board” in the respective specialty.
The residents of the program will be promoted to the various levels from R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 through a series of qualifying examinations / assessments conducted at the end of each level in the presence of external examiner(s). At the end of each year, the board of examiners chaired by the secretary general will meet to review the results of all formative in-course assessments as well as the summative ones for approval and final announcement of the results by KIMS.
Successful completion of R2 will mark an entry point to a further three (3) years of postgraduate education in different fields of dentistry (R3, R4, and R5).
