Before you enroll
Professional practice & clinical privileges
In Saudi Arabia, Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons generally practice aesthetic medicine within the scope of their specialty. Physicians from other specialties, including General Practitioners, are eligible to enroll in CBAM programs and receive certification to expand their clinical knowledge.
However, the ability to perform aesthetic procedures in a healthcare facility is subject to approval by the facility's credentialing authority and the SCFHS (Saudi Commission for Health Specialties), in accordance with local regulations and institutional policies.
If you are a General Practitioner: scope of practice for independent aesthetic procedures in Saudi Arabia is primarily restricted to Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons according to SCFHS guidelines. GPs are welcome on the program and receive full certification, but are advised to check current local credentialing rules.
