Medical training is slightly different here than in the US. You apply for med school right out of high school and it lasts 5-6 years. Everyone then completes a general training internship. After internship you usually go to a district hospital and work until you are accepted as a Registrar (Resident) in the specialty of your choice. At the district hospital, after your internship, you will be required to perform a high level of general medical and surgical care including cesarean sections, appendectomies and hernia repairs. Family Medicine is just getting started as a specialty here in Kenya.
