Strong academic foundation

The University of Nairobi Medical School offers a rigorous and well-structured medical programme that truly prepares students for the realities of the healthcare world. One of the key strengths of the programme is the hands-on clinical exposure students receive from early on, thanks to its close integration with Kenyatta National Hospital and other major health facilities. The lecturers are highly experienced and passionate about teaching, and they push students to think critically and apply their knowledge. The curriculum is demanding, but it builds a solid foundation in both basic sciences and clinical practice. The environment is competitive, which motivates you to stay focused and disciplined. While the workload can be intense and resources sometimes limited, the overall experience is incredibly rewarding. I would highly recommend the University of Nairobi Medical School to anyone who is serious about becoming a competent and compassionate medical professional. It is a place where you are challenged to grow, both academically and personally.

Very good

I have found great thinkers among both students and lecturers. I have enjoyed some courses more than I took pleasure in others, but that is solely due to my increased interest and the preference I hold for theory, especially social and cultural, whereby my greatest pleasure must have been meeting and partaking in classes held by professor Slawomir Kapralski whom I hold in highest respect. The classes are well-ordered and organized, the material is prepared and provided, the professors are attentive, kind and prompt in their correspondence - no less is the case when it comes to the correspondence one seeks in the support that the dean or the rest of the faculty staff will be willing to provide.
