DO-HNS

• If you’re an overseas candidate you must hold a primary medical qualification that is acceptable to the Councils of the four Colleges: England, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Ireland. Check the World Health Organisation’s list of medical schools to see if your medical degree is acceptable. 
• You must have completed six months’ full-time ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinical work, or an equivalent length of time in a part-time position achieved within four years.

You need to apply online through the Royal College of Surgeons website.

To apply online, you must first register for an account. You will need to set a password and access the account area.

When applying for any examination candidates must read and accept the relevant regulations available from each examination's page.

Candidates applying for the first time online will have 14 days after the closing date to submit the necessary supporting documents to accompany their application. Candidates who fail to submit the documents within this time will not be entered for the examination. Online applications open approximately one month before the deadline.

You can sit the DO-HNS exam in Cairo and Alexandria. 

Any cancellation or withdrawal of application must be done in writing. The candidate will be refunded the fee with 20% administrative charge deducted provided that the withdrawal is received before the closing date of the examination.

Candidates who withdraw from the examination after the closing date, or who fail to attend the examination, will not normally be entitled to any fee refund. Refunds will only be granted under exceptional circumstances, such as on medical or compassionate grounds. Requests for transfer of fees must be accompanied by a supporting letter from the candidate’s general medical practitioner, postgraduate dental dean or a local tutor in order to be considered. The supporting material must also explain the reasons why the fees cannot be deferred.

Failure to comply with the regulations, or failure to meet the eligibility requirements, will not be considered sufficient grounds for a refund.

We do our best to cater for any special needs. We will do all we can to help you understand test questions and ways of giving answers. You will be assessed fairly and objectively irrespective of disability.

If you require special arrangements please get in touch at least three months before submitting your application. Relevant supporting materials such as medical certificates should be submitted during registration.
