Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have represented United American Healthcare Corporation, a Michigan
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), for registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of a maximum of
500,000 of the Company's Common Shares, no par value (the "Common Shares"), to
be issued pursuant to options granted under the United American Healthcare
Corporation 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and an additional maximum of
100,000 of the Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the option granted to
Gregory H. Moses, Jr. under his Employment Agreement with the Company dated May
11, 1998 (the "Moses Option").

     Based upon our examination of such documents and other matters as we deem
relevant, it is our opinion that the Common Shares to be offered by the Company
under the Plan and the Moses Option pursuant to the Registration Statement have
been duly authorized and, when issued and sold by the Company in accordance with
the Plan and the Moses Option and the stock options exercised thereunder, will
be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit hereby that we
come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

                                Very truly yours,


                                HONIGMAN MILLER SCHWARTZ AND COHN
