Kabale University School of Medicine (KABSOM)
Prof. James K Tumwine
Dean
Kabale University School of Medicine was opened in September 2016 in response to the huge Health Professionals Training Gap in the Kigezi Region (where Kabale University is located). The CORE BUSINESS of the school is Teaching/Learning, Research, and Community Service.
The Medical School’s strategy is embedded in the overall heritage of Kabale University as a community-founded and community-centered institution of higher learning. The School strives to generate & disseminate knowledge and, develop skills of graduates that are of benefit to them as individuals, to their communities, their employers, and the country at large. The school, therefore, seeks to promote innovativeness, community service, and resourcefulness among the graduating professionals. We aspire to achieve this by developing sustainable accredited programs that produce graduates able to deliver outstanding health care, while observing the highest standards of ethics, integrity and compassion to those in need and graduates that can participate in research and community care services for the betterment of people’s health and wellbeing. Kabale University School of Medicine operates in a unique environment of; committed, well-motivated staff, good infrastructure, conducive policies and good governance.
