approved clinical medicine institutions in Kenya

The Clinical Officers Council (COC) is mandated to regulate the training, registration, licensing, and practice of clinical officers in Kenya. COC is also responsible for accrediting institutions that offer approved clinical medicine and surgery courses.

The council only issues accreditation certificates to clinical medicine training institutions that meet the set standards.

Likewise, you will not be registered and licensed to practice clinical medicine in Kenya if you pursue a course in an unaccredited institution.
