Physician Job - What are the eligibility conditions to work in Abu Dhabi

HAAD (Health Authority - Abu Dhabi) Requirements

The PQR or the Professional Qualifications Requirements (formerly known Personnel Qualifications Requirements) is a reference to standardize the requirements of licensing health professionals in Abu Dhabi. The PQR standards dictate the minimum expertise generally necessary for performing heath care related practice within a broad category. The Standards are not designed to provide relative evaluations of individuals (i.e. identify the best individual for a given position).

There are two basic components when evaluating health professionals for licensing

1. Academic degrees

2. Professional experience

Academic degrees include educational experience/certifications obtained by the health professional. Professional experiences include substantive, salaried experience relevant to the discipline being considered for licensure. Though both components are necessary for licensure of all health professionals, the type and extent of these components is unique to each discipline.

Certificates and qualifications are evaluated using the following criteria:

1. The country and institution from which the certificate was awarded.

2. The level of international recognition of the Certificate.

3. The duration and content of study, with special emphasis on the presence or absence of clinical practice/practical training as relevant to the type of licensure requested
