To become one of the best doctors in Kenya, you need to excel in Chemistry, ideally scoring an A or A– in your KCSE exams, as it is a core subject for admission into top medical schools like the University of Nairobi or Moi University. Achieving such high marks demonstrates a strong foundation in scientific reasoning, which is essential for understanding medical concepts. However, it’s not just about Chemistry; you also need top grades in Biology, Mathematics or Physics, and English or Kiswahili, alongside passion, discipline, and a commitment to continuous learning and ethical practice in order to succeed and stand out in the medical field.
