Why Do Pharmacists Need the HAAD/DOH Prometric Exam?

The DOH Prometric exam for pharmacists is part of the Abu Dhabi healthcare licensing pathway for eligible pharmacy professionals who want to work in the emirate.

A pharmacy qualification alone does not allow professionals to practice in Abu Dhabi. Pharmacists must complete the licensing requirements established by the Department of Health, Abu Dhabi.

The licensing process helps ensure that pharmacy professionals meet the required standards related to safe medication practices and healthcare services.

The general licensing journey includes:

  • Understanding pharmacist eligibility requirements
  • Completing required document verification
  • Registering for the licensing examination
  • Preparing according to pharmacy professional requirements
  • Completing licensing procedures

Many pharmacists face challenges because licensing examinations require preparation based on professional competency and examination patterns rather than only academic knowledge.
