@Genesismwanzo1 Kweli ulisomea wapi? BCM has always been around 300-400k per year. Fees range from 90-120k for the trisemester system. 250k iliwachiwa engineering/law.... The issue we have is our rate of absorption following the obscene fee figures and the gruelling programme
@MainaJay1@Genesismwanzo1@ptason He also has to lobby for SHA procedure verification at least for BCM, MCM-RH for surgical and obs procedures. We're currently locked out
@Genesismwanzo1 Kweli, KU administration can attest to that. The degree has suffered from severe opposition since inception thus the challenges that current graduates are still facing even with their As/Bs at admission. Genesis kindly post the cluster points admitted in the campuses last 5 years
@medicinesans@Genesismwanzo1@ptason@maroag7 Shida ni halipwi enough for that. How do you expect them to take calls while not compensated for it?? You earn 206k while they get only half that for the same amount of work??? @ptason@maroag7 mlikubali tunyanyaswe?
@Genesismwanzo1 Wote ni same doc.... basic undegraduate studies in US take 4 years after which they match to their residency programmes. DO though is like BSC CMED which came later on but was proven as a parallel medical programme and accepted via courts in the 80's. Both now coexist in practice
@Genesismwanzo1@ptason@maroag7 Usisahau pia dentists yet kazi ni 8-5 but receive such due to the same 'Dr' priviledge! Beyond doubt titles matter alot in negotiations otherwise kina @ptason huonekana tu kama watu wa mkono ๐ ... Dr commands respect!!
@BenjaminMa14128@Genesismwanzo1@kavisunielite@ptason@maroag7 Dr title gives leverage for more allowances stay guided! Remember pharmacists start internship at 206k while doing the bare minimum dispensing drugs!! They're paid call allowance of 60k while not present. BSC COs contrarily get 8k while they do calls in MO rotas!
@kavisunielite@Genesismwanzo1 To note is that the course sparked as a result of having systemic barriers to our advancement in the country. In other countries BSC CM are allowed to progress into MMED and quite a number in Kenya currently. The issue for them is just licensure after the course thus frustration
I saw the Laikipia County advert recruiting Bachelor of Oral Health graduates. Someone asked who employs them.
The answer is simple; County Governments.
Just because CS Health Aden Duale is against the cadre doesn't mean they won't be absorbed. Counties recruit based on service needs and the latest advert is proof.
@Genesismwanzo1@kavisunielite MOH in liason with @coc_ke@ptason@maroag7 should ensure BSC Clinicians get the best training possible at internship for them to actualize their potentials as system issues get sorted. I believe the future is bright for the BscCM Drs!
@Genesismwanzo1@kavisunielite The only issue we have locally is the system which is stuck on that parallel lines cannot coexist!.... If this were to change things would be very different. We need to start advocting for support all the way from internship for this is where great drs are forged!
@Genesismwanzo1@kavisunielite Otherwise what am trying to say is that the only challenge for us BSC COs is the system we find post graduation deliberately engineered not to accomodate us but not our knowledge!!! We are drs!
@Genesismwanzo1@kavisunielite They just study theoretically and encounter their first patients only at internship. They know alot of nothing but you'll always find them on TL slundering us... I tend to guess it's empty debe syndrome.
