Lilian Kathiri M’nkubitu

I am a medical doctor based in Kenya with six years of experience as a general practitioner. I earned my MBChB from Egerton University in April 2018 and completed a mandatory one-year internship at Nyeri Teaching and Referral Hospital in May 2019, under the national government.

To further my career, I pursued a Master’s in Internal Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. My goal is to combine my clinical experience with current medical knowledge to enhance patient care and contribute to the broader community. I also have a strong interest in medical research and am currently engaged in a year-long research fellowship focused on epilepsy.

Having completed the first year of my M.Sc., I can confidently say that the education provided by the university has been outstanding. The extensive library resources available to students have been particularly impressive. I plan to make full use of these resources to become a more skilled clinician and researcher by the time I finish the program.

I am deeply grateful to the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for the scholarship. This opportunity is transformative, enabling me to complete my MSc and pursue my career goal of becoming a neurologist.
