GUIDELINE TO THE PQR 2011

What is the PQR?

The PQR or the Professional Qualifications Requirements (formerly known Personnel Qualifications Requirements) is a reference to standardize the requirements of

licensing health professionals in Abu Dhabi. The PQR standards dictate the minimum expertise generally necessary for performing heath care related practice within a

broad category. The Standards are not designed to provide relative evaluations of individuals (i.e. identify the best individual for a given position).

There are two basic components when evaluating health professionals for licensing

1. Academic degrees

2. Professional experience

Academic degrees include educational experience/certifications obtained by the health professional. Professional experiences include substantive, salaried experience

relevant to the discipline being considered for licensure. Though both components are necessary for licensure of all health professionals, the type and extent of these

components is unique to each discipline.

What is the purpose of developing the PQR? The purpose of the Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR) for Health Care Professionals is to ensure that all health professionals of the Health Authority - Abu

Dhabi (HAAD) meet and maintain professional qualifications and experience standards set to ensure quality health care within universally accepted health care

standards. . It is the responsibility of the Health Authority Abu Dhabi through the department of professional licensing, as stated in the Resolution No. 97/2002 issued

by the Director of H.H. Office dated 23.6.2002, to maintain the PQR within the predetermined universally accepted healthcare standards and to ensure candidates

meet or indeed exceed the qualifications as detailed in the PQR.

Page 9: PQR 2011 July

PQR 2011 Page 11 of 94

Are the PQR Standards mandatory or are they guidance?

The standards are mandatory and any health professional licensed in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi must comply with such standards. Standards depicted as “preferred” are

strongly recommended for healthcare providers/employers to consider but are not mandatory requirements for licensing.

How were these Standards produced?

Since its first publication, the PQR is the result of an extensive and continuous research and consultation with:

1) International, federal and local health regulatory and licensing organizations;

2) Professional societies and associations;

3) Academic institutions and colleges;

4) Individuals, experts and professional working groups.

For further information on the references please refer to reference page

What are the major differences between PQR 2008 and new PQR 2011?

The new changes in the PQR 2011 can be summarized under 3 major areas;

1. Modification of nomenclature

2. Change of the qualification or the experience requirements for some positions

3. Addition/Removal of medical professions

Modification of nomenclature

Personnel Qualifications Requirements changed to Professional Qualifications Requirements

Specialists equivalency changed to Tier 3

Amendments to some position titles

Page 10: PQR 2011 July

PQR 2011 Page 12 of 94

SUMMARY OF THE MAJOR CHANGES TO THE QUALIFICATION AND THE REQUIREMENT INTRODUCED IN THE PQR 2011

Doctors Tier 1 years of experience required is reduced from 3 years to 2 years. UAE Nationals with Tier 2 qualifications: will immediately qualify for Specialist upon completions of certification (1 year of

experience post certification no longer required) For UAE Nationals Tier 2 qualifications: each year clinical fellowship (from Tier 1 countries) is counted as two years of clinical

experience Tier 3 qualifications (previously called “medical specialist equivalency table”)

Nursing

Master’s Degree is required for ADON position Basic Life Support Certificate is mandatory for all nursing Required experience is no longer limited to acute care hospitals, however, must be relevant to the area of practice. Additional specialty nurse category : Orthopedic Nurse

Allied Health All Health Technology graduates of UAE universities/colleges (eg. Lab, Radiology, etc) and holding a bachelor degree or 3 year Diploma, will be waived from the 2 years required experience.

PQR 2011 Page 13 of 94

What is the meaning of tier 1, 2, and 3?

“Tier” is a term used to indicate a category of qualifications for postgraduate education for medical/dental doctors. The determination of these categories is based on

the level and presence of academic structure and competency based evaluation during qualifying degree. It is important to note that Tier 1 and Tier 2 qualifications

lead to consultant licensure (with the only difference being in the number of required years of experience post certification). Tier 3 qualifications lead to specialist

licensure, consultant licensure cannot be attained through Tier 3 qualifications. Final licensure granted (e.g. Consultant, Specialist) connotes the acquisition of

equivocal standards of medical competence, duties, and rights for all health professionals within that title irrespective of which tier level was used to grant the

license. (i.e. Consultant status granted through Tier 2 qualifications is considered equal to consultant status granted through Tier 1 qualifications. Similarly, specialist

status granted through tier 1, 2 or 3 are all equal).

How are certificates/qualification evaluated?

Certificates and qualifications are evaluated using the following criteria:

1. The country and institution from which the certificate was awarded.

2. The level of international recognition of the Certificate.

3. The duration and content of study, with special emphasis on the presence or absence of clinical practice/practical training as relevant to the type of licensure

requested.

It is important to note:

Certificates/qualifications acquired through experiences of honorary nature (such as a non practicing visiting physician) are not counted towards PQR

requirements.

Certificates/qualifications acquired through correspondence or distance learning, are not counted towards PQR requirements.

Page 12: PQR 2011 July

PQR 2011 Page 14 of 94

What are the HAAD policies on interruption/discontinuation of practice for health professionals?

A health professional who does not practice in a patient-care role for more than two years is unlikely to have current knowledge of safe practice including advances in

technology, pharmacology and evidence-based medicine, etc. It is therefore a requirement that such a person should produce a detailed, official and documented

description of the amount, type, and dates of continuing professional development that he, or she, has completed during each subsequent year, after the first 2 years

of discontinuity of practice, and for a maximum of 3 years. Such activities could include workshops, courses, in-service training, and clinical attachment for at least

one month every year or at least 50 hours of CME every year.

Over 2 years of discontinuation of practice

All clinicians who discontinue clinical practice for more than 2 years must undergo a formal clinical evaluation by the HAAD and may be subject to a period of

supervised training for 6 - 12 months.

Over 5 years of discontinuation of practice

Any Non National applicant who has over 5 years of an interruption of practice is ineligible for licensing within that practice.

Any UAE National applicant who has over 5 years of an interruption of practice must undergo formal clinical evaluations by the HAAD and may be subject to repeat

training as deemed appropriate by HAAD. These will be determined on a case by case basis.
