Graduated with an M.D. from Dubai – Do I still need 2 years of experience to work as a GP?
Hi everyone,
I recently graduated with an M.D. from a university in Dubai, UAE, and I'm trying to understand the licensing and career path to work as a General Practitioner (GP) in Dubai.
I've heard that you need \*\*2 years of clinical experience\*\* before you're eligible to work as a GP. Does this requirement also apply to graduates from UAE medical schools, or is there a different pathway for those who studied here?
If anyone has gone through the process or knows the current DHA/MOHAP eligibility requirements, I'd really appreciate some guidance.
Specifically, I'd like to know:
\* Do UAE medical graduates still need 2 years of experience before becoming a GP? \* What's the typical pathway after graduation if I want to practice in Dubai? \* Is internship enough, or is residency/work experience required?
Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences! #local
