Uganda is one of the pioneers in career progression and professional development of Medical Clinical Officers from Diploma (DCM) to Degree (BCMCH) level, which is in an effort to re-tool and improve skill-sets of professionals to encounter the ever-changing and challenging medical field to meet basic emergency and specialized healthcare needs of our evolving society. This is equally intended to match desired regional and international labor market skills sets and competence levels, like our counterparts in Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Rwanda, and USA where training of these cadres is streamlined to Masters (specialization) and PhD.
