Reference material for continuing learning in laboratory medicine: the standards, national guidance and professional reference sets Kenyan pathologists reach for most often, and KACP’s own recorded teaching. Every external link goes to the publisher, so you always land on the current version. If a document you rely on is missing, tell the Secretariat at info@kacp.co.ke and we will add it.
