The Bachelor of Clinical Medicine and community health is an academic dual degree awarded to Clinical officers by universities in East Africa. In Kenya, it is currently offered by Great Lakes University of Kisumu, kabarak university, egerton university, Mount Kenya University, Kenya Methodist University. In Uganda and Tanzania, it is offered at Kampala International University. In Rwanda, it is offered at the University of Rwanda.,^[1]

Most clinical officers first acquire a basic (or Community Health) before enrolling for the degree, although this is not a requirement. High School graduates are also enrolled directly into the programme which lasts at least four years. Graduates must then complete an internship year before they are registered as qualified clinical officers. However, in Tanzania, the state confirmed that the degree is an equivalent to an MD degree hence the graduates are referred to as doctors.
