CAAP classifies it’s relationship with African church/mission hospital Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine residency programs in two categories: Aware and Affiliated. A site visit is required to become an official CAAP program. These comprehensive residency program evaluations result in quality improvement through awareness of opportunities for improvement leading to CAAP program affiliation and regional College of Physician program accreditation.
The residency programs literally “on the map” of CAAP are programs of which we are well aware or where we are involved.
Five programs fit our board’s category of Affiliated with an expectation of soon being a CAAP Program.
- Mbingo Christian Internal Medicine Residency Program, Cameroon
- Kabarak University Family Medicine Residency Program, Kenya
- Bingham, Babcock, and Bowen University Teaching Hospitals Family Medicine Residency Programs, Nigeria
- Harpur Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Program, Egypt
- Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program, Tanzania
Requirements for CAAP Accreditation are the following:
- Qualified program director leading the residency.
- Spiritual formation and clinical foundational elements in place.
- Site visit completed
- Program and institutional deficiencies identified during the site visit have been corrected.
Applicant program forming with whom we are in contact are shown in yellow on the above map.
This map locates a number of the various African church hospital residency programs in family medicine and the Christian internal medicine residency at Mbingo Hospital in Cameroon as well as church hospitals with PAACS programs considering starting family, internal or emergency medicine or paediatrics residency programs. This map is not exhaustive. Missing are the current ~15 family medicine programs at church hospitals in Nigeria. The well-developed network of training sites of the Universite Protestante au Congo family medicine residencies are also not all marked.
