What do dentists need for a QCHP license in Qatar?

Qatar's Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP, formerly QCHP) licenses a General Dentist with 24 months of experience and a pass in its Prometric exam, which costs US$244; with less experience or after a break from practice you are licensed as General Dentist (Supervised) first, and your employer in Qatar submits the application, so a job offer comes first.
