Looking to work as a doctor in the UAE? Here’s a quick guide to getting your Dubai Doctor License, DOH license in Abu Dhabi, and understanding MOH license requirements for other emirates.
In Dubai, you’ll apply through the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) via the Sheryan portal — verify your documents with DataFlow, pass the Prometric exam, and get your DHA license to practise legally.
For Abu Dhabi, you’ll need the Department of Health (DOH) license. Submit your credentials for primary source verification, meet the experience criteria, and apply through the TAMM platform.
If you plan to work in Sharjah, Ajman, or Fujairah, the MOHAP license (Ministry of Health and Prevention) applies. Upload your documents, verify them, and get approved to practise.
Each emirate has its own regulatory body, so choose the right one based on where you intend to work.
