How to Register for the Hamad CPD Program: 2026 Guide for Healthcare Professionals in Qatar

For healthcare professionals in Qatar, renewing your Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP) license requires a specific number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.

To register for accredited conferences, workshops, and seminars in Qatar, practitioners can use the official Hamad CPD Activity Program Platform (not to be confused with the internal eTaleem system).

Whether you are employed by Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), working in a private clinic, or arriving as an overseas attendee, you must have an active “Learner ID” on this platform to earn and log your Category 1 and Category 3 points.

Here is the step-by-step process to register and ensure your CPD credits successfully transfer to your MoPH-DHP portfolio.

Information Required for Registration

Before you begin, ensure you have the following details ready:

• Valid Qatar ID (QID) Number
• DHP License Number (for clinical practitioners)
• Mobile Number and Email Address
• Your exact Specialty (must match your registered profile with MoPH-DHP-AS)

Step-by-Step Registration Process

Step 1: Access the Official CPD Portal

Navigate directly to the Hamad CPD Program homepage.

Step 2: Select Your Practitioner Category

The system requires you to identify your employment status to route your points correctly:

• HMC Practitioners: Log in using your existing HMC network credentials.
• MoPH-DHP Licensed Practitioners: If you work in the private sector, select the “Other Healthcare Professional” category, then register as “Non-HMC Staff.”
• Overseas/Non-Licensed: Visiting professionals can also register under the “Overseas Attendee” designation.

Step 3: Complete Your Profile & OTP Verification (Sign up)

Fill in the mandatory demographic and licensing fields. Once submitted, you will undergo an OTP (One-Time Password) verification process to activate the account.

Step 4: Receive Your HMC Learner ID

Upon successful registration, the system will generate your unique HMC Learner ID (e.g., HMCP followed by your mobile number for Physicians, HMCN for Nurses). You will use this ID to sign in for all future events.

Step 5: Register for upcoming Events

Upon successful Login, you can start registering for events.

Crucial Rules for Securing Your CPD Points in 2026

Simply registering on the portal is not enough to get your points. The DHP enforces strict attendance validation:

1. Pre-Registration is Mandatory: You must register for a specific activity on the portal before attending.
2. The 15-Minute Rule (QR Codes): You must scan the check-in QR code within 15 minutes of the start time, and the check-out QR code within 15 minutes of the end time.
3. Mandatory Evaluation: You must complete the online CPD Evaluation form. If you miss the check-in, check-out, or evaluation, your certificate will not be generated.
4. Processing Time: Validated CPD points take up to 30 days to reflect in your official DHP CPD Portfolio.
