<p>The Master of Clinical Medicine at Mount Kenya University is a postgraduate programme offered through the School of Clinical Medicine, designed to provide clinical officers with advanced specialisation in Forensic Medicine, Accidents and Emergency Medicine, or Family Health. The programme addresses the growing demand for specialised clinicians in Kenya's healthcare system. The programme aims to increase clinical competence in the area of specialisation, develop organisational and systems leadership skills for high-quality patient care, and equip graduates with research skills to conduct evidence-based research that informs clinical practice. Graduates are prepared to apply quality improvement methods and standards within health systems. Students engage with advanced clinical topics relevant to their chosen specialisation, combining theoretical study with practical clinical training. The curriculum integrates clinical sciences with research methodology, healthcare management, and evidence-based practice, ensuring graduates can bridge clinical expertise with systemic healthcare improvement. Admission requires a Bachelor's degree with a minimum of Second Class Honours (Upper Division) from a recognised university, or Second Class Honours (Lower Division) with at least two years of work experience.
