Many years ago... decades? centuries? or just years? we should then give mku some centuries for it to reach acceptable level then?

Which hospital is MKU using for training medical students? With the billions they have so far charged in fees, do they plan to build their own teaching hospital or their grandiose plan is to use Thika Level 5 Hospital to teach undergraduate medicine and surgery for 6 years? The Medical Board declined to register medical students from Kenyatta University, the same might happen to MKU, Egerton, KEMU and Maseno who recently started teaching medicine. It's all about the 500k+ in school fees that parallel medicine students pay for tuition. Nothing about churning quality well-trained doctors.  Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

I do not get what is this dust about MKU because for example,some people went to Uni with a B and then when private unis came ,they had lower cut off points for same courses eg daystar and USIU ,right?.So the issue is not about just MKU but all universities,the standards are wanting. From students copying exams,to paying people to do their projects,to offering inapppriate learning. Modes for courses that need handson/practical work etc I am happy

An A- would be lucky and even then they must have flawless math, sciences and languages. Parallel for UON Med is fiercely competitive.

C&P Thika based Mt Kenya University (MKU) will from next month offer Bachelor of Medicine, becoming the third university to offer the course outside Nairobi. Chancellor Victoria Wulsin said the course will commence at the university main campus in Thika town after completion of a human anatomy laboratory in the expanded Thika Level Five Hospital mortuary that cost them Sh300 million. The ultra-modern mortuary will have room for modern embalment units, classrooms and a modern human anatomy laboratory with a capacity of 150 bodies. “The ultra-modern laboratory, mortuary and Thika Level Five Hospital will offer practical training and experience to the first batch of 150 medical students who are slated to start classes in January next year. We expect the number to double in the next intake,” said Simon Gicharu, the chairman of MKU board of trustees. Separately, MKU has signed research partnerships with two American universities to carry out various academic and research projects. Read more at: http://www.standardmedia...y-starts-medical-school

Nothing about churning quality well-trained doctors. This is where I disagree with our professional registration boards. Why should they wait for a university to launch a course and admit students before denying registration to the students? On top of this, the medical board's website lists KU medical school as an approved medical training institution but MKU's isn't anywhere to be seen. RINK
