Kijabe Research Day

Kijabe Research Day

Starting in early 2024, Arianna stepped into a new role as Director of Education and Research for Kijabe Hospital, which means she is overseeing 52 faculty/administrators and 550 students in undergraduate programs at the College of Health Sciences and postgraduate programs within the main hospital.

My favorite day in her department is Research Day, when students and clinicians in the hospital can present a poster on a research project. Most are medical, but it is designed to be open to everyone and there were posters by the IT department and Chaplains.

I love being able to see what is happening in Kijabe – and in Arianna’s division – all in one snapshot. It’s amazing!

The 58 posters presented this year. You can download a high-resolution version here.
