Overview of Licensing Requirements

Healthcare professionals must obtain a valid license to practice in the UAE. Licensing requirements vary by profession, but the process typically involves:

• Skill Tests and Assessments: Applicants must pass all required tests and evaluations to demonstrate competency.
• Educational Credentials: Verification of educational degrees and relevant training is mandatory.
• Examinations: Formal tests assess professional knowledge and skills.
• Ongoing Requirements: Continuing education, regular practice, and periodic re-examinations are necessary to maintain the license.

For professionals transferring to another emirate, the existing license and any associated disciplinary records are also evaluated as part of the new licensing process.
