I don't think any interview is there .

Usually it's an exam that you gotta pass .

And then you're licensed to work in Bahrain . Not sure about the process but if your employer is really a healthcare institution they should know what is what .

Becareful maybe someone's tryin' to rip you off

Thank you for this info . I tweeted nhra and they told the coming up licensing exam is on may but聽 I want to find out whether it's mandatory to apply for exam via emplower or we can do it by ourselves.聽
If it's mandatory to apply via an employer , can you please tell me how to find an employer or hospital in bahrain.

Well, interview means they just ask your details while submitting your application. Right now the system has changed, it is data flow. I聽 am not sure about data flow thing. Anyway, if u go and ask in NHRA, Bharain, You get a clear picture.

Can you tell me the adress of the Nhra. I asked some friends and they said that it's all about finding a job first so i do not know what to do. Visit clinics asking for job or visit NHRA!

A job offer is mandatory to get licence in Bahrain. Nhra office is at Seef. If you have a job offer, ur employer will do, the rest of the things. U need to submit ur latest medical, experience certificates, job certificate, Nhra forms, photos etc with a prescribed fee to Nhra. If you do not have聽 a job offer, there is no point in visiting them. The system has changed, as i said before. Find a job first, do not mind the salary. Once you get your licence and experience, change the place of work, thats all.

See, each country has it's own licencing system. If you have a soudi licene , it is an added advantage. But, Bhahrain has a unique way of licencing the professional. They are updating the procedures and protocol day by day. Better find a job offer as soon as possible. Changing the work place is not that easy here, even if you completed the contract period, you need to obtain, no objection certificate from your ex employer. It is crucial to report the nhra that , you changed your place of work. Then they will provide you, another ID.聽 However, that is a different case. Your case is to find a job. Check indeed.com or other sites, go to clinics and hospitals searching a job, hope this will help you.

yes, the important thing for a beginner is, to obtain a licence to work. After the contract period, u have experience, and so u can switch to other hospitals or clinics. Best of luck.

Just try to get an offer letter for job from somewhere even if they do not offer u real job. All u need an offer letter. Then submit an application to nhra. The details are on their website. I am pretty hopeful that u will be allowed to sit in exam. Once u have passed it u shall have many job offers.
Also if u want to proceed ur carrier try to do MRCP. But with kids it's a difficult task

Hello,
I'm back in this post.
First of all i want to thank you all for the helpful informations. I just passed the BMLE this month, but my troubles here i think are not going to end 馃槀.
My HR applied for my license since i pass the exam, but now NHRA is not approving it and doesn't give any specific reason. (I have all the requirment documents Cpr, medical check up, offer letter, work visa and the certificate i passed the exam)
Did anyone of you experience/heard cases like this??? It will be very helpfull for me to understand what is going on now.
Thank you in advance
