What do pharmacists need for a QCHP license in Qatar?

Qatar's Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP, formerly QCHP) licenses a Pharmacist with a bachelor's degree in pharmacy, two years of post-graduate experience and a pass in its Prometric exam, which costs US$244, unless a master's in a pharmacy-related field exempts you; your employer in Qatar submits the application, so a job offer comes first.
