What is a Specialist? In Dubai's regulator licensing system, a “Specialist” is a physician or dentist who has completed advanced specialty training beyond their primary medical degree and holds a recognized postgraduate qualification (e.g., board certification, fellowship, or equivalent). Specialists are qualified to independently diagnose and treat conditions within their field. Dubai's medical register lists 432 specialist ophthalmology professionals: 267 with an active full-time licence at a facility and 165 Registered Only, who hold no facility licence and cannot practise in Dubai until a facility activates one.
