Maseno University has recalled all its graduates in Medical Laboratory Science to register for additional study courses.
The move targeting Bachelor of Science degree graduates, will see them get recognised by the Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board.
This follows Maseno University’s accreditation from the board. The university attained a Class E category, crucial for training Medical Laboratory Practitioners.
In the past, the board declined to recognise graduates from the university. The move had affected hundreds of graduates who failed to get placement in government institutions.
Their only hope now lies in enrolling for the additional six units and compulsory attachment.
The directive by the university also targets students who have cleared the course work leading to the same degree.
Immediate applications
Vice-Chancellor Dominic Makawiti said the institution was carrying out an assessment on the proposed intake, adding that the students were invited to make applications immediately.
Prof Makawiti said the institution would be able to serve many of the students in the first phase because their number was manageable. The studies will be undertaken at the university’s main campus.
“This group has often been of a small number and we want to clear all of them as soon as possible so that they are empowered to practise,” said Prof Makawiti.
The course was started in 2001 and so far has 75 graduates.
