MOH Exam – Complete Guide for Healthcare Professionals in the UAE

The Ministry of Health (MOH) exam is required for healthcare professionals who want to work in Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al-Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE. Passing the MOH exam grants you a MOH license, allowing you to work in government and private healthcare facilities in these emirates.

Step-by-Step Process to Obtain an MOH License

Step 1: Document Preparation

Before applying for the MOH exam, you need to gather and prepare the required documents:

Educational Certificates – Degree or diploma related to your healthcare profession.
Experience Certificates – Proof of required work experience (varies by profession).
Professional License – Active registration from your home country’s medical or healthcare board.
Good Standing Certificate – Issued by your previous licensing authority to confirm no malpractice history.
Passport & Visa – A valid passport and a UAE visa (if available).
Recent Passport-Sized Photos – As per UAE government specifications.

MOH requires a minimum of two years of experience for most healthcare professionals.

Step 2: Dataflow Verification (Primary Source Verification – PSV)

MOH requires Primary Source Verification (PSV) through Dataflow to confirm the authenticity of your educational and professional credentials.

Register on the Dataflow portal and upload your documents.
Pay the verification fee and track your application.
Receive your Dataflow PSV Report, which is mandatory for the MOH exam.

Step 3: MOH Exam Registration

Once your documents are verified, you can apply for the MOH exam through the official MOH Portal.

Create an account and submit your PSV Report and other required documents.
Pay the MOH exam fee and book a test date at an authorized Pearson VUE center.
Check the exam schedule for availability in UAE, India, and other countries.

Step 4: MOH Exam Preparation & Training

To pass the MOH exam, preparation is key. The test covers medical knowledge, clinical scenarios, and best practices in patient care.

Study the official MOH syllabus and practice MCQs.
Enroll in MOH training programs to improve your chances of passing on the first attempt.
Take mock tests to understand the exam format and improve time management.

Step 5: Take the MOH Exam

On the scheduled date, appear for the MOH exam at an authorized Pearson VUE center.

The exam format consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs).
Results are usually available within 3-5 business days.
If unsuccessful, candidates can reapply after a waiting period.

Certain professionals (e.g., doctors, dentists) may need to pass an oral assessment in addition to the written test.

Step 6: Receive Your Eligibility Letter

Once you pass the MOH exam, you will receive a MOH Eligibility Letter, which is valid for 1 year.

This letter allows you to apply for healthcare jobs in MOH-regulated emirates (Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al-Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah).

Step 7: Job Search & Offer Letter

With your MOH eligibility letter, you can start applying for jobs in hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and healthcare centers in MOH-controlled emirates.

Use online job portals, recruitment agencies, and networking to find job opportunities.
Secure an employment contract from a healthcare facility.
The employer will sponsor your UAE work visa after hiring.

Step 8: Activate Your MOH License & Start Working

Once you get a job, your employer will apply for your MOH license activation.

The MOH license is employer-linked and must be renewed periodically.
After activation, you can officially start working as a healthcare professional in the UAE!
