In this article, we’re going to share with you the study material for HAAD, MOH, DHA DHCC license exams. These are the medical licensing exams of the United Arab Emirates for doctors and healthcare professionals who wish to practice medicine in UAE. All this information has been collected from our alumni (currently training in UAE) and partly from our research via social media and online forums. This article will suffice the study material you need for cracking UAE’s medical licensing exams. 🙂
But first, let’s take a look at what we already know about life as a doctor in UAE. We recommend reading the following articles for knowledge base if you’re seriously considering obtaining HAAD, MOH, DHA or DHCC license in UAE:
Salary of Doctors in UAE (Authentic and Fully Updated)
How to Apply for HAAD, DHA, MOH and DHCC License Exam of UAE
Exemption Criteria for HAAD, DHA, MOH & DHCC License Exams
After publishing the above-mentioned articles, we received too many emails asking for the study material for HAAD, DHA, MOH and DHCC license exams. Because the authorities have just provided a vague description of the paper which is JUST NOT ENOUGH when it comes to exam preparation. So, for making this clear, we contacted our alumnus, Dr. Yasir Ameer Baloch (currently working as a Physician-General Internal Medicine at Masafi Hospital, Ministry of Health & Prevention, Fujairah, UAE) for his assistance. And in addition, we also searched the web. And so, we have come across some seriously useful stuff that you can use for your preparation! 🙂
Here’s what you need for HAAD, MOH, DHA or DHCC license exam preparation:
