Description
The provision of emergency medicine and critical care in a cost-efficient manner has the potential to address
many preventable deaths in low- and middle-income countries. Here, utilising Kern’s framework for curriculum
development, we describe the origins, development and implementation of the Emergency Medicine and Critical
Care Clinical Officer training program; Kenya’s first training programme for clinical officers in emergency
medicine and critical care. Graduates are scattered across the country in diverse settings, ranging from national
referral hospitals in the capital, Nairobi, to rural hospitals in northern Kenya. In these locations, they provide
clinical care, leadership, and teaching. Similar programmes could be replicated in other locations to help plug the
gap in critical care provision in Sub-Saharan Africa.
