SCHOOL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE
Welcome to School of Clinical Medicine
The School of Clinical Medicine (SoCM) is among the three Schools constituting the Campus College of Medicine of Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). The SoCM was established in 2023 from the School of Medicine dated back to 1963, when the government of the newly independent Tanganyika started its predecessor, the Dar es Salaam School of Medicine to train licensed non-degree medical practitioners, starting with an intake of eight students. In 1968 the School was upgraded to a Faculty of Medicine (FOM) of the Dar es Salaam University College; a constituent College of the University of East Africa (UEA). With upgrading of the Dar es Salaam University College to the University of Dar es Salaam in 1970, the Faculty of Medicine (FOM) soon initiated its first degree, the Doctor of Medicine (MD) programme.

A major milestone year for the Faculty of Medicine in 1977 was its administrative incorporation with the Muhimbili Hospital to form the Muhimbili Medical Centre (MMC), allowing synergistic access to clinical environments for teaching with staffs contributing to service delivery. In 1991 the Faculty of Medicine was upgraded to become the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS), a constituent College of the University of Dar es Salaam a process that upgraded its Departments of Pharmacy and Dentistry to Faculties. Subsequent disestablishment of the MMC by parliament in 2000, and creation of two closely linked but legally autonomous public institutions; namely MUCHS and the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH), showed support for the growth of MUCHS. Government support also allowed for realization of plans to upgrade MUCHS to a fully-fledged university, when in 2007 by Article 1 of the Charter of Incorporation, in line with the recommendations of the Tanzania Commission of Universities (TCU), the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences was established the Faculty of Medicine became one of its five Schools.
Tremendous changes have occurred where student enrolment as of 2023 in the SoCM are as follow: MD programme 230, Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiography (BSc Rad) 30, Bachelor of Science (BSc PT) in Physiotherapy 35, Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy (BSc OT) 20 and Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology (BASLP) 15. This makes a total of five undergraduate programmes.
