Medium Term Fellowship Program in Continuous Quality Improvement
The University of Nairobi (UoN) in collaboration with the University of Washington (UW) through the support of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is implementing an innovative program to build capacity for leadership and management of Health Programs in Kenya.

Each fellow will implement a hands-on, problem-based, project related to Continuous Quality Improvement.
The selected projects should address existing institutional gaps and challenges, be based on institutional priorities, and selected with knowledge and involvement of management.
The Medium-term Fellowship program will commence on 02 April 2013
