KIMS's new rules?

So word's been going around that KIMS are changing the scholarship rules for people who would like to specialize abroad. To be honest, I'm not well versed on the issue but what I can gather from people (which may not be entirely accurate so don't quote us!):

-High GPA
-High TOEFL score
-You need to get into the Kuwaiti board and pass their exam
-You don't get to choose which country you go to
-You don't get to choose which specialty you get into

I guess what's more frustrating than having new rules is not having a system in place where these regulations are spelt out (on KIMS's website or another regulatory body). Things are a bit murky for junior doctors at the moment with little guidance from administrators to help them plan their future.

Anyway, for interested parties, apparently there's going to be a meeting at Kuwait Medical Association's HQ at 8pm today, Kuwait time.
