Abstract

Cameroon is located in Sub-Saharan Africa, geographically lying between West and Central Africa. The country has a population of 25 million people (CIA 2019). Health professions education in the country is supervised by three government ministries -- Higher Education (diploma and degree programs); Public Health (diploma programs); and Employment and Vocational Training (diploma programs). Schools that train health professionals in the private sector will have to be accredited by one of these ministries depending on the programs they intend to run. Some of the programs are harmonized (similar curriculum is used across schools) while some others are unique to the institutions running them. Where programs are harmonized, you will see similar activities, including internships taking place in the different institutions.
