How the new registry works

Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals seeking to work in Dubai will give their mandatory entrance and certification exams and be registered with the health care professional’s registry.

If they decide to leave Dubai, their registration will continue to remain valid but with an ‘inactive’ status. The registry will continue to update the individual’s professional experience, continued medical education and further academic status. It will also record medico legal cases or adverse experience.

If the professional decides to return, he or she can reactivate their status provided they have not stopped practising.
