​​​Welcome to the Department of Medicine! I am tremendously proud of our department and its vital contribution to the overall mission of the Aga Khan University, Medical College, East Africa. I believe that the three key sections that define our department include: Patient Care, Resident Education, and Research Activities. 

We strongly believe in our core values of caring and compassion to ensure that our faculty and residents always provide top-notch care to our patients; care that is evidence based and promotes patient safety and patient satisfaction.

Our department is strongly committed to clinical education by providing residents with interactive classroom and bedside evidence-based learning in an environment that nurtures personal, professional and academic growth. Our faculty both trained locally and internationally are expert teachers who provide mentorship and are dedicated to improving their teaching and research methods. 

We are highly committed to research activities that help define the present and future of medicine. We encourage our residents to be involved in research activities to also foster an appreciation of basic science as well as clinical research.

You have joined a unique class in a unique time in history during a global pandemic. The university and all the faculty endeavor to provide the best learning experience possible during this time.

Resilience, Creativity and Fortitude are the hallmarks of this season. You are certain to grow as academics, clinicians and personally through this journey of residency.

We welcome you to the Department of Medicine and look forward to your training as leaders of the future for Kenya, East Africa, and the World.
