For healthcare professionals aspiring to work in the Gulf region, understanding licensing exams such as DHA, HAAD, and MOH is essential. These examinations are the gateways for doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists, and allied health professionals to legally practice in countries like the UAE. Each exam is associated with a particular health authority and region within the UAE. At Faith Academy, we specialize in providing comprehensive coaching and international clinical training that helps candidates succeed in these highly competitive exams.
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) exam is mandatory for all medical professionals who wish to work in the emirate of Dubai. DHA regulates Dubai's healthcare system and ensures only qualified practitioners are allowed to serve the public. Passing the DHA exam is a crucial requirement for securing a license to practice in Dubai hospitals, clinics, or health centers.
The DHA exam includes multiple-choice questions focused on your specialty area. The exam can be taken online at Prometric centers located worldwide. Once passed, candidates must complete a credentialing and dataflow verification process before license issuance.
The Health Authority – Abu Dhabi (HAAD) exam, now known as the DOH Exam, is required for healthcare professionals who aim to work in Abu Dhabi. As the regulatory authority, DOH ensures the quality and safety of the healthcare system in the emirate.
The HAAD exam is conducted in a multiple-choice format and typically consists of 100 to 150 questions depending on the profession. A minimum passing score is required to qualify for licensing. Once you pass, you become eligible to apply for healthcare roles in Abu Dhabi.
The MOH Exam is for those seeking to work in other Emirates in the UAE apart from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, such as Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Umm Al Quwain. The Ministry of Health regulates the healthcare system across these regions.
The MOH exam format is similar to DHA and HAAD, focusing on specialty-related questions. Candidates must pass the exam and complete licensing procedures to be registered healthcare professionals in the specified Emirates.
These exams assess a professional's competence to ensure high standards of care in the UAE. They also help standardize qualifications from diverse countries. Clearing DHA, HAAD, or MOH boosts your career prospects, offers better salaries, and opens global job opportunities.
