MOHAP Exam Exemption Criteria for Doctors, Nurses
Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), formerly known as Ministry of Health (MOH) requires all medical professionals who are seeking their career in UAE, specially in MOHAP administered Emirates, should pass their medical licensing exam, but these exemptions allow healthcare professional to bypass the Prometric exam while still obtaining a MOHAP license. There can be some exemptions depending upon the health category you are applying for. Details regarding MOHAP Exemption Criteria.
What are the next steps after Exemption?
MOHAP exam exemption does not automatically earn you a health license under MOHAP(Ministry of Health and Prevention) to be able to legally practice in different Emirates under MOHAP, but a healthcare professional need to fulfill Other Requirements to earn a practicing license.
