MOHAP UAE Exam Quick Summary
MOHAP (Ministry of Health & Prevention) licenses doctors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals to practice across the Northern Emirates — Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. Licensing is confirmed through a Prometric computer-based exam, with the exact format depending on your profession and specialty.
What is the MOHAP UAE Exam?
The Ministry of Health & Prevention (MOHAP), formerly known as MOH, is the healthcare regulator responsible for licensing physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and allied health professionals across the Northern Emirates. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have their own separate regulators — DHA for Dubai and DOH for Abu Dhabi — so a MOHAP license lets you practice specifically in Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, or Fujairah. Licensing is confirmed through a Prometric-administered, computer-based MCQ exam, with your professional category and specialty (GP, Specialist, or Consultant) determining the exact eligibility and exam requirements. See our full overview of MOHAP for more background.
MOHAP exam eligibility overview
Requirements vary by professional category, but generally include:
General Surgery and Obs & Gynae additionally require a 2-year clinical logbook, since MOHAP classifies both as surgical specialties. Eligibility details vary meaningfully by specialty — see each guide below for the specifics that apply to you.
MOHAP exam guides by specialty
Each specialty has its own eligibility criteria, syllabus, and exam pattern. Explore the full guide for your track, or jump straight to the Qbank.
MOHAP exam format overview
Most MOHAP exams are written-only, delivered as Prometric MCQs. An oral/viva component is possible but generally reserved for surgical specialties (General Surgery, Obs & Gynae) and some dental specialty tracks, decided case-by-case after your DataFlow and document review. GP exams carry no oral component at all. See our MOHAP written & viva eligibility criteria guide for more detail, and the Prometric registration guide for booking your exam.

The UAE remains a top destination for international doctors and dentists — but demand isn't even across the board. Junior-level GP roles are more competitive, while specialists and consultants across fields such as Paediatrics, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Dermatology, and cardiology continue to see stronger opportunities, particularly as the UAE's population grows and chronic-disease and elderly-care needs rise.
A Colliers Healthcare & Education market intelligence report projects the UAE will need more than 33,000 additional nurses and allied health professionals by 2030, driven by population growth, medical tourism, an ageing population, and the rising burden of chronic disease. Reported physician demand is concentrated in general medicine, general surgery, paediatrics, anaesthesia, obstetrics, endocrinology, cardiology, and nephrology, alongside psychiatry, emergency medicine, and intensive care. These figures are largely reported for Dubai and Abu Dhabi specifically, but reflect UAE-wide demand drivers that extend to Northern Emirates hiring as well — confirm current openings directly with employers or a UAE healthcare recruiter for your specialty.
Once you're MOHAP-licensed, you can apply directly to hospitals, clinics, and healthcare groups across Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah, or work with a UAE healthcare recruitment agency specializing in your specialty.
