How pathology training works in United Arab Emirates

Residency sits with the emirate health authorities and their teaching hospitals rather than with universities. Each of the three regulators licenses separately, so the emirate you train in determines the authority you deal with. Many programmes follow the Arab Board curriculum.

Important: DHA, DOH and MOHAP licence separately. Confirm which regulator governs the hospital before applying.

What you need

  • Recognised medical degree
  • Regulator eligibility for the chosen emirate
  • DataFlow verification
  • Programme entrance process
  • Employment offer and residence visa
