Overview
The Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners (QCHP) is the body that licenses doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and allied-health professionals to practise in Qatar. As part of licensing, most categories of practitioner must pass a computer-based assessment delivered through the Prometric testing network, alongside verification of their qualifications and work history.
Who can apply
Applicants need a recognised qualification in their healthcare profession, from an accredited institution, along with the supporting documents and primary-source verification QCHP requires for licensing. Eligibility and the specific assessment required depend on the practitioner's profession and experience level.
Exam pattern
The QCHP assessment is a computer-based, multiple-choice test delivered at Prometric testing centres. Question count, time allowed, and the specific blueprint vary by profession and specialty.
How to apply
Submit your qualification and experience documents to QCHP for eligibility review and primary-source verification.
Once approved, book your Prometric assessment through the designated booking channel.
Complete the computer-based assessment at an approved Prometric test centre.
Preparation tips
Confirm the exact exam blueprint and question count for your profession and specialty with QCHP before booking, since these differ across physician, nursing, and allied-health tracks.
Is the QCHP exam the same for every profession?
No. QCHP's assessment requirements and blueprint vary by profession (physicians, nurses, allied health, and others) and specialty.
Where is the QCHP assessment held?
At approved Prometric testing centres, after QCHP completes eligibility review and document verification.
