Dubai Doctor License & UAE Medical Licensing
Planning to start your medical career in the UAE? Getting a Dubai Doctor License is the first step to legally practising as a doctor in Dubai. You’ll need to register through the DHA Sheryan portal, complete your Primary Source Verification (DataFlow), and pass the required Prometric exam before your license is issued.
For those aiming to work in Abu Dhabi, the DOH license in Abu Dhabi is mandatory. Apply through the Department of Health (DOH) system, submit verified documents, and clear the Pearson VUE exam to qualify for practice in the capital.
If your goal is to practise in other northern emirates, you must apply for the MOH license through the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP). The process includes online document submission, verification, and approval by the licensing authority.
