Research and Projects
Research projects and Consultancies
The MCS SoM research activity commenced upon its establishment with the production of 18 peer reviewed journal publications in its first year in 2012. This was followed by 23 publications in 2013. In 2014 MCS SoM produced 27 journal publications and 51 papers in 2015. The number of publications in 2016 reduced to 26, lower than what was expected of 28 papers. This reduction was attributed to high teaching and examination workload. In 2017 the School introduced two academic programs: Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences and Masters in Public Health (MPH). Two research based programs: MSc and DSc by research were introduced in 2016. The introduction of the programs will increase the number of publications in the school in the near future.
The School provides consultancies to several institutions including the Ministry of Health, the World Health Organisation (National and International Office) and The National Science Research Council.
Research Focus
The Copperbelt University School of Medicine (CBU SOM) is only the second public medical school in Zambia, after the University of Zambia School of Medicine.. There are 2 other privately run Medical Schools in Zambia. CBU SOM is the only Medical school outside Lusaka. The School is the only school that has a dental degree training program in the country which is intended to address the critical shortage of dentists in Zambia. There are about 65 Dentists in Zambia only 25 are Zambians. Even though Zambia requires about 2,500 medical doctors, there are only 1,200 doctors out of which only 600 are Zambians.
The School of Medicine’s research activity commenced upon its establishment with the production of 18 peer reviewed journal publications in its first year in 2012. This was followed by 23 publications in 2013. In 2014 CBU SM has produced 27 journal publications.
The CBU SM projects to reach a research out put of 30 papers in the year 2015. CBU SM has the highest research output in the CBU University averaging 75% of all publication outputs in the University. In 2013 the School introduced Clinical postgraduate programs.In 2014 the school introduced two research degree, these are in the areas of Basic Medicial Sciences,Clinical and Public Health research.
These programs will offer MSc degree and Doctor of Sciences degrees in these 3 research areas.The increase of research publications will be enhanced by the commencement of these graduate research degrees which have been introduced.
Research Administration
There are three research groups in the School that are led by a Research Coordinator. Currently, the School has submitted 10 research proposals which have been approved for small grants under the University’s research funds.
