      Hello Verit Japhet from Bahari Girls — it’s great to hear that you want to become a doctor! 🌟 That’s a powerful and inspiring dream, and you can achieve it with hard work and determination.

      To become the best doctor, you’ll need to qualify for Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) at a university in Kenya, like the University of Nairobi, Moi, Kenyatta, Egerton, or JKUAT. Here’s what you should aim to score:

      Cluster Subjects Considered (KUCCPS):

      Biology

      Chemistry

      Mathematics/Physics

      English/Kiswahili

      You need a high cluster point, usually above 42 points, to qualify for government sponsorship.

      Tips to Become the Best Doctor:

      Focus on Science – master Biology and Chemistry deeply.

      Think Critically – doctors solve problems every day.

      Work Hard Consistently – every exam matters.

      Read Widely – learn beyond the syllabus.

      Help Others – compassion is key in medicine.

      Hey Japhet, how’s it going? 😊

      If you’re aiming to get in as a government-sponsored student, I’d suggest aiming for a B+ in those key subjects—Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. But honestly, if you can manage A’s, that would be even better! 🌟

      I’m rooting for you and wishing you the best of luck as you work towards becoming an amazing doctor. Keep pushing, and don’t let anything stop you! 🙌

      You’ve got this! 💪

      As Michael has answered, you need straight As in Maths, Biology, Chemistry and English/Swahili languages.

      To become the best doctor, you need to be a master of your skill, compassionate, attentive to details about your craft and patients, take risks and be very disciplined. Please read the book called Gifted hands by Ben Carson who is one of the best neurosurgeons in the world you will get the inspiration on what it takes to be the best. Get a role model who is a doctor and they might help guide you to being the best. Best wishes in your career ambitions to be a doctor and hopefully I get to be treated by you in the future 😎

      Dr. Verit Japhet,
      I am already proud of you for daring to dream!
      First believe that you can do it and you have everything it takes to be the best doctor there has ever been.
      After believing in self you need discipline and sacrifice for nothing good comes easy.

      Put extra effeort in science subject, practice and seek help when stuck.

      To become a doctor, you need to score highly in your exams. Aim for As, especially if you’re targeting a government-sponsored university spot. For self-sponsored programs, you will usually need at least a B+.

      But good grades alone are not enough. To become the best doctor you can be, you also need to have a positive attitude and a genuine passion for the profession. If you combine strong results with the right mindset, I truly believe you can achieve it and I know you will!
