About Dr.

Dr. Sabahat Rahmedova is an epidemiologist with more than eleven years of experience guiding healthcare professionals through UAE medical licensing, regulator requirements, and career transitions into Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates.

She works with KPM Global on DHA (Dubai Health Authority), MOHAP (Ministry of Health and Prevention), DOH (Department of Health — Abu Dhabi), and allied licensing pathways — including eligibility letters, DataFlow primary-source verification, PQR qualification routes, gap-of-practice rules, and exam preparation for international credentials such as PLAB, USMLE, and EMREE.

At The Consulting Journal, Dr. Rahmedova publishes practical guides that doctors, recruiters, and hospital administrators use to understand which licence applies, what documentation regulators expect, and how to move from eligibility to active practice without costly delays.

A licensing file that is complete before submission saves months — and often saves a career move altogether.
