General Foundation Program

The General Foundation Program (GFP) is a professional system responsible for organizing training for post internship doctors. The GFP aims to build competent doctors (medical officer level) in various clinical specialties to fulfill the health workforce needs in the country. Since launching in January 2019, more than 300 Omani doctors have graduated from the program, and more than 140 Omani post internship doctors join the program annually. GFP trainees are distributed  within 6 GFP tracks (Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, OBGYN, Pediatrics, Medical & Surgical).The principal feature of the GFP is that it is a trainee-led. Hence, the program is designed to encourage a learner-centered approach under the supervision of trainers. The curriculum is competency based which outlines competencies that trainees must achieve by the end of the program. To achieve these competencies, the trainees rotate in various training centers for one year. Each rotation is composed of two months duration. To enhance trainees learning, the trainees undergo assessment at various levels. By the end of the training year, the trainees would attain a completion of GFP training certificate.

The general foundation program provides training for doctors after completing their internship. We train graduates to become medical officers in various surgical and medical specialties (House officer level physicians). We design and administer rotations in various specialties pertinent to their specialty track. We facilitate learning by collaboration with different centers across the country.

Compassionate, patient-centered care through well trained competent medical officers in various clinical specialties.

Building competent and skilled medical officers to Improve the quality of health care in the country.
Formulate a clear future career pathway for the trainees.
