FOREWORDThe Clinical Officers Council (COC) has developed these guidelines in order to standardize degree and diploma internship training in various health facilities in Kenya. The focus is to acquire competencies based on sound theoretical knowledge, skills and attitude as stipulated in the curriculum. This will enable interns to provide competent health care services to clients and patients in health facilities.

The internship practice is under the supervision of senior Clinical Officers and Medical Officers for the period indicated in the logbook and signed off on completion. These guidelines therefore, outline what the Council considers important areas that must be covered to ensure acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes in this field of Clinical Medicine for effective practice.

The supervisors are expected to give feedback to the Council on those who have successfully completed their internship for purposes of registration.

The interns will be provided with the logbook, licence and code of professional conduct which outlines the conduct of a Clinical Officer. These guidelines stipulate the expected competencies, internship supervision, regulations and assessment criteria for internship. Clinical Officers, interns and supervisors are requested to familiarize themselves with these regulations.
