Medical Licensing Steps in the UAE for 2025 | Your Professional Guide with AIMS) (ENG)

Obtaining a professional license in the United Arab Emirates is the essential gateway for any healthcare practitioner wishing to work in an advanced and well-regulated medical environment. With the continuous development of systems under the Department of Health (DOH), the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), it has become crucial to follow precise steps to ensure quick approval without delays or rejections.

This is where Advanced Innovations Management Services (AIMS) comes in — a leading company in managing medical licensing files across the UAE and the Gulf, backed by more than a decade of experience in consultancy, training, and professional support.

1. Choosing the Correct Regulatory Authority

The authority responsible for issuing the license depends on the location of practice:

  • Abu Dhabi: Department of Health – DOH

  • Dubai: Dubai Health Authority – DHA

  • Sharjah and the Northern Emirates: Ministry of Health – MOHAP

The AIMS team helps you determine the correct authority from the start to avoid duplication or mistakes in selecting the appropriate system.

2. Preparing the Required Documents

The licensing team at AIMS carefully reviews all documents to ensure they meet the requirements of each authority. These typically include:

  • Bachelor’s or diploma degree (attested and verified)

  • Previous experience certificates (authenticated as required)

  • Professional registration/license from the previous country of practice

  • Prometric exam result, if applicable

  • BLS or ACLS certificate (AIMS is an HSI-approved provider)

3. Submitting and Tracking the Application Online

Applications are submitted through the official licensing systems, such as:

  • DOH – TAMM System

  • DHA – Sheryan

  • MOHAP – E-services

AIMS manages the entire submission process and follows up on every update until final approval is issued.

4. Passing the Professional Assessment
