What are the SMLE eligibility requirements?

Final-year eligibility is explicitly confirmed for students at Saudi universities or colleges. Graduates of overseas universities must hold a completed, recognised medical degree; internship status alone is not sufficient. Intern eligibility depends on the candidate’s qualification and SCFHS approval. Eligibility to sit the exam and professional classification or registration are separate decisions.
