• Medical degree: A minimum 6-year medical degree program from an institution recognized on DHP's approved list. Qualifications from unlisted institutions are rejected automatically.
• Internship: A completed clinical internship/house job certified by the training hospital.
• Clinical experience: A minimum of 2 years of continuous post-qualification clinical experience. Gaps longer than 6 months generally require a documented explanation.

Yes. Physicians who have passed one of the following are exempt from sitting the exam: AMC, PLAB Part 1, USMLE Step 3, MCCQE Part 1, the Hamad Medical Corporation National Board Examination, the IFOM Exam, or Ireland's Pre-Registration Examination (both MCQ and OSCE parts). Exemption doesn't grant a license automatically; you'll still need to complete DataFlow PSV and the remaining registration steps. See our full DHP MOPH Qatar exam exemption criteria for the complete, current list.
