After completing the clinical pharmacy course, do we have to write any exam or get any approval to work in UAE?
Yes, you must pass a licensing exam and secure approval to work as a pharmacist in the UAE.
To practice, you need a license from the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP). This involves:
- Passing the MOHAP licensing exam, which covers pharmacy knowledge, UAE regulations, and professional ethics.
- Meeting document requirements: academic certificates, recent work experience proof, a valid assessment certificate, and a criminal clearance certificate.
- Fulfilling work experience criteria: typically at least two years of relevant experience, with no more than a two-year employment gap.
The process also includes an online application and fee payment. Requirements and steps are subject to change.
