ABSTRACT
The provision of emergency medicine and critical care in a cost-efficient manner has the potential to address many preventable deaths in low- and middle-income countries. Here, utilising Kern's framework for curriculum development, we describe the origins, development and implementation of the Emergency Medicine and Critical Care Clinical Officer training program; Kenya's first training programme for clinical officers in emergency medicine and critical care. Graduates are scattered across the country in diverse settings, ranging from national referral hospitals in the capital, Nairobi, to rural hospitals in northern Kenya. In these locations, they provide clinical care, leadership, and teaching. Similar programmes could be replicated in other locations to help plug the gap in critical care provision in Sub-Saharan Africa.
