About Professional License Department
The purpose of this service is to grant a healthcare professional - who is interested in working in DHCC –
a professional license or a Letter of Acceptance (LOA).
The professional license is only granted to the healthcare professional in case s/he has a healthcare
operator that agreed to hire him/her.
The letter of acceptance (LOA) is only granted to the healthcare professional in case s/he has passed all
the requirements of the license, yet still looking for a healthcare operator to hire him/her.
The Facility Licensing Department (FLD) is responsible for issuing a license for the healthcare operator.
Then the ROC issue a Clinical Operational Permit (COP) for the healthcare operator. The COP lists all the
services that this healthcare operator provides.
In the new healthcare professional application, the healthcare professional selects his/her specialty. The
specialty should match one of the services provided by the healthcare operator – which is found in the
healthcare operator’s COP. This is a prerequisite for issuing a professional license. Otherwise the
application will not be accepted.
Healthcare professionals can apply for a new professional license as a part time or a full time.
There are seven categories of healthcare professionals namely:
1.

Medical License

2.

Dental License

3.

Complimentary Alternate Medicine (CAM)

4.

Nursing

5.

Faculty License (Academic Appointment)

6.

Trainee License (Postgraduate Medical / Dental Education Program)

7.
