- Rationale of the programme.
Training Clinical Officers at a higher level is one way of raising the standards of health care delivery to Kenyans since they are the ones who provide more than 80% of health services especially in the rural areas. It is envisaged that the Bachelor of Science graduate Clinician will apply critical thinking in the process and come up with practical solutions to solve the various patient’s/client’s health problems and needs. The improvement in the services will be achieved through incorporation of the knowledge and experience acquired from clinical medicine and community health
