Climate change is one of the leading crises in the 21st century, with far-reaching implications on human health and food security. Particularly, African communities are disproportionately vulnerable to climate risks, as driven by a combined effect of its geographical location in hotter parts of the planet, broad dependence on climate-sensitive natural resources and rainfed agriculture.

Annually, the Department of Clinical Studies (CSD) organizes a herd health field training and community outreach camp within Kibwezi Sub-County, Makueni County. The purpose of the exercise is to provide experiential training and practical skills to BVM students as well as offering free herd health services such as deworming, treatment and consultancy to the local community farmers neighboring the University’s Kibwezi Field Station Farm. The program is a mandatory examinable practical exercise within the curriculum for all BVM Year 5 students.
