The department has launched a thesis template for Postgraduate students. The template aims to improve the standardisation of the theses submitted to the University of Nairobi. The template is available from the webpage on the Department's website dedicated for postgraduate students research process. The link to download is  https://app.box.com/s/pueg3bi14zicred6jqohdtu7zu9w8zf2 . This endeavour is in line with the Department's goal of ensuring students get guidance and graduate in the stipulated period of their enrolment. This objective was spearheaded by the Chairman, Dr. Eng. Simpson Nyambane Osano and was implemented by Eng. Muthomi Munyua who is coordinator for postgraduate studies for the Department of Civil & Construction Engineering.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

1. Background

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Medical Physiology was started in 1986 with an interim approval of the Senate for the purpose of training postgraduate students in physiological and medical research. In addition, the current increase in the number of medical, dental and pharmacy schools and undergraduate nursing programs has exposed a large shortage of medical physiologists for teaching. The graduates will be able to effectively fill junior academic positions in any department of medical physiology before undertaking postdoctoral research training. Moreover, the research training in the program will be of value to the graduates in their specialized clinical disciplines.

2. Philosophy

There has been a considerable expansion in medical education within Kenya since the opening of the first medical school in 1968. This has not been accompanied with proportionate increase in the number of medical physiologists. The consequence is that medical physiology is being taught in many medical schools and other health science training institutions by doctors who have some other specialization. There are only a few applicants annually for the Masters Degree program in Medical Physiology partly because there are no Bachelors degree programs in the discipline in the country. The consequence is that there are very few PHD students in the discipline.

3. Rationale

The solution to the above problem is to offer training at the Doctor of Philosophy level in Medical Physiology. It is expected that some of the graduates will proceed to the post-doctoral degrees in Medical Physiology while others will find employment in technical areas of research institutions, medical services or pursue further research in their areas of specializations n in other health professions. The doctoral program seeks to develop the highest level of scholarship, research capability, and creative thinking skills in the student's area of specialization.

4. Objectives

The Objectives of the course is to provide learners with an opportunity to develop confidence and skills to apply basic and applied principles in medical physiology in the practice of medicine. This programme aims to encourage the acquisition of general medical physiology skills relating to basic and applied medical physiology, critical analysis, interpretation and discussion of factual information and data related to medical physiology.  This course aims to offer a fresh stimulating approach to the major forces instrumental in the shaping of basic and applied skills in medical physiology. To provide quality education and training and to embody the aspirations of the Kenyan people and the global community through creation, preservation, integration, transmission and utilization of knowledge. To promote f reedom of thought and expression and innovativeness and creativity. To instill professionalism and ethical attitude and behaviour, professional etiquette and integrity. To foster a work environment characterize by team spirit and teamwork and provide quality services. To promote a respect for and conservation of the environment, sustainability and stewardship of resources.
