ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO GUIDE THE RECOGNITION OF MEDICAL AND DENTAL SPECIALISTS AND SUBSPECIALISTS The Council further reminds practitioners that the KMPDC Guidelines on the Recognised Specialties and Subspecialties (Revised 2024) remain in force. Practitioners intending to pursue postgraduate training, particularly outside Kenya, are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the approved list of recognised specialties and subspecialties and the applicable requirements for specialist recognition before enrolling in any training programme.
BRIDGING QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADMISSION INTO MEDICAL, DENTAL AND COMMUNITY ORAL HEALTH TRAINING PROGRAMMES The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) wishes to inform prospective students, parents, sponsors, scholarship agencies and institutions offering Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB), Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and Community Oral Health (COH) training programmes on the criteria for acceptance of bridging qualifications into these programmes. Prospective students and training institutions are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the approved requirements before admission or enrolment to ensure compliance with the Council's regulatory framework and to avoid inconveniences in registration upon completion of training.
