Saudi Commission for Health Specialties finalizes 2026 Saudi Board matching, outlines process for remaining training seats across the Kingdom.
The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties has finalized the matching process for the 2026 Saudi Board programs, announcing the completion of the second batch of approved training seats. This year saw an 11% increase in the number of approved training seats compared to last year, along with a substantial 110% growth since 2022. The Commission aims to expand training capacity in response to the rising number of graduates and the evolving needs of the healthcare sector.
A significant portion, 73%, of accepted candidates this year were graduates from after 2024. The Commission has already begun notifying successful applicants and has pledged to support them throughout the training journey, ensuring a smooth enrollment process for those accepted.
Remaining unmatched seats will be available for competition by other applicants, who can change their preferences on the matching and admission portal starting August 30, 2026. The portal will remain open for five working days, after which interview dates, fees, and admission requirements will be announced. Candidates are encouraged to review available options, prioritize their preferences, and stay updated on the matching portal and the Commission's official channels for further information.
