Frequently Asked Questions
Which Gulf health authority licensing exam should I take as a dentists?
Your exam choice depends strictly on where you intend to practice: DHA for the Emirate of Dubai, MOHAP (MOH) for Sharjah and Northern Emirates, DOH/HAAD for Abu Dhabi, SCFHS (SMLE/exam) for Saudi Arabia, OMSB for Oman, and QCHP/DHP for Qatar.
What is the passing score for dentists licensing exams?
Passing scores vary by jurisdiction. For example, the Saudi SMLE requires a 70% passing threshold for doctors, while DHA generally requires 60% for general practitioners and 55% for registered nurses.
Can I transfer my medical license between UAE health authorities?
Yes. Under the UAE Unified Healthcare Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR), an active DHA, MOH, or HAAD license can be transferred to other emirates through the license conversion pathway without repeating the Prometric CBT examination.
