In-demand KMTC courses that will earn you a job in UK & US

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has revealed marketable courses that have a high demand internationally including in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK).

According to KMTC CEO Kelly Oluoch, graduates who have specialized  in Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Clinical Medicine, Medical Laboratory Sciences, and Nutrition and Dietetics, are the most sought after by employers in the US and UK.

“While nursing has traditionally dominated recruitment requests, we now witness increasing interest in Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Clinical Medicine, and Medical Laboratory Sciences. Other disciplines like Nutrition and Dietetics, among others, are also beginning to attract attention,” he stated.

The CEO attributed the high demand for these professionals to aging populations, a rise in non-communicable diseases, and workforce shortages.

He also noted the high demand for KMTC graduates, who are famed for their competence and skills, has positioned the institution as a preferred recruitment hub for local and international employers.

“We have deployed additional staff to fast-track job verification requests, ensuring that our graduates secure opportunities on time,” Oluoch added.

With over 22,000 students attending more than 50 medical courses, KMTC makes the biggest single contribution to the health sector in Kenya.

The institution produces more than 6000 graduates every year for both the Kenyan public and private health sectors, accounting for more than 80 percent of the hospitals’ workforce.

It also boasts of a highly qualified and experienced teaching and administrative staff, with the national distribution of the KMTC College being its biggest uniqueness.
