Common Questions About Healthcare Professional Licensing
How long does DHA licensing take?
DHA licensing typically takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on speciality and the completeness of your Dataflow verification. Straightforward applications for common specialities can complete within 4 to 6 weeks.
Is Dataflow mandatory for all healthcare professionals in UAE?
Yes. Primary source verification through Dataflow is mandatory for all healthcare professionals applying for a DHA, DOH, or MOH licence in the UAE, regardless of speciality or country of origin.
Do I need to sit an exam for UAE professional licensing?
It depends on your speciality and licensing authority. DHA requires a Prometric exam for most clinical roles. DOH uses a competency-based assessment. MOH has its own exam requirements. We assess your specific situation and advise accordingly.
Which licensing authority should I apply to, DHA, DOH, or MOH?
It depends on where you plan to work. DHA covers Dubai, DOH covers Abu Dhabi, and MOH covers the remaining emirates. If you are still deciding on a location, we can advise on the differences in process, timelines, and exam requirements.
