The National Preceptorship Training aimed to empower oncology pharmacists with essential skills to mentor postgraduate students pursuing a Master of Pharmacy in Oncology Pharmacy at Kabarak University.

Pharmacy students at Kabarak undergo experiential clinical rotations, making skilled instructors critical in shaping their competencies and professionalism. Through this initiative, Kabarak ensures that trainees develop the core competencies needed to provide safe, effective, and patient-centered oncology pharmaceutical care.

During a Leadership Forum in 2024, the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Henry Kiplagat, emphasized its commitment to research and innovation. “As an institution, we are supposed to be at the forefront when it comes to research and innovation, so we have trained our students to be innovative in all fields,” he stated.

Additionally, Kabarak University, in partnership with the National Commission for Science, Technology, and Innovation (NACOSTI), held an intensive ethics training workshop for faculty members. This workshop deepened understanding of NACOSTI's mandate, research ethics principles, the protocol review process, and the critical role of integrity in scholarly research.

NACOSTI is responsible for promoting ethical standards in science and research, committed to strengthening the capacity of Institutional Scientific and Ethics Review Committees (ISERCs) and individual researchers through targeted training programs.

The partnership between Kabarak University and NACOSTI fosters responsible research practices, reinforcing the university's mission in teaching, research, and community engagement.

Moreover, the collaboration with KCB Bank Kenya Ltd has provided significant opportunities for final-year students in the School of Business and Economics.
