For practicing in UAE first one needs a recognized qualification in specific course from their country of origin. Next they should get a license from the Ministry of Health (MOH) through the TCAM exam. The procedure for the same is described below. After getting the license one should register for permission from the respective local governments (municipalities) depending upon in which emirate of UAE (the country of UAE is made up of seven emirates) you intent to practice and one will get this permission only after getting the license from MOH.

Remember that even after getting the above two documents one can do the practice only under an existing medical institution. Because currently the system here is of poly-clinics (means two, three or more doctors practicing under a single, OP only, medical establishment).

HI I have a Masters in Chiropractic from Macquarie University in Sydney and have been practicing for 19 years - can you advise - would I need to sit examinations to obtain a licence to set up my own independant clinic without Medical Doctor requirement in Abu Dhabi or Dubai - or would I be exempt having this Masters qualification and years of practice- the data from different websites is a little confusing!
