The Primary Source Verification (PSV) process in the MOH Exam for Nurses is a crucial step in the application and licensing process for healthcare professionals wishing to work in the UAE. This process is carried out by the Ministry of Health in partnership with the DataFlow Group. PSV involves verifying the authenticity of the credentials provided by applicants directly from the original issuing source. This verification covers educational degrees, professional licenses, and other relevant qualifications.
The purpose of PSV is to detect any non-genuine certificates and ensure that healthcare professionals practicing in the UAE are legitimate and qualified. This step is mandatory for all health professionals applying for initial licensure or license renewal, especially if their qualifications have not previously undergone PSV. Each document is only required to be verified once, but health professionals may need to repeat the process for newly acquired credentials or qualifications as needed for credentialing purposes.
Documents typically required for the MOH dataflow process include passport-size photos, passport copies, educational certificates, professional registration certificates, experience certificates, Basic Life Support (BLS) certificates, and Good Standing Certificates from medical councils or regulatory bodies.
This verification process serves as a safeguard, ensuring that all healthcare professionals meet the necessary standards of education and practice to provide safe and effective care in the UAE.
