How Licensing Exams Affect the Global Mobility of Healthcare Workers 🌍

In today’s interconnected world, 🌍 healthcare professionals are more mobile than ever before. From doctors in Egypt working in Dubai to nurses in India moving to Canada, global healthcare migration is on the rise. But there’s one major checkpoint on this journey: licensing exams 🧪📄.

These exams can either open doors or create roadblocks for professionals looking to practice in different countries. In this article, we’ll explore how licensing exams and global mobility intersect — and how you can prepare smartly with the help of Aura Health Solutions. ✅

1️⃣ The Gatekeeping Role of Licensing Exams

Licensing exams are designed to standardize medical practice and ensure patient safety. However, they also serve as barriers to entry for many qualified professionals due to:

Differences in exam formats
Language barriers
Access to test centers
Limited exam slots

These factors can delay a healthcare worker’s ability to relocate and start practicing.

2️⃣ Common Licensing Exams by Region

Each country or region has its own licensing pathway:

UAE: DHA, MOH, DOH (HAAD)
Saudi Arabia: SCFHS Prometric
USA: USMLE
UK: PLAB
Canada: MCCQE

3️⃣ Exam Validity & Transferability

One of the main issues is non-transferability of exam results. For example, a MOH license may not be valid in Dubai unless converted to DHA. The same applies globally — passing PLAB doesn’t make you eligible in the US.
