PREPARING FOR THE PART A EXAMINATION OF THE FACULTY OF PUBLIC HEALTH (MFPH)

Downloads:
Click here for the course handout including tips on technique.
This
is the full text version,
which is fully referenced with hyperlinks for you to follow up matters of
interest. To read before or after but this is NOT what you need on the course.
If you use this please donate £10 to http://www.justgiving.com/edmundjessop
and also send me some feedback on what needs improving.
I run
a weekly blog of interesting
papers in journals.
Other
bits and bobs for the exam include three examples
of critical appraisal, each around 1200 - 1300 words which is what you would
write in 40 minutes in the exam. The management syllabus is tricky for most
people and not well covered in the textbooks, so I have written some 500 word answers under
exam conditions on many of the items in the management syllabus.
And, only for the truly desperate, here is a summary of the epidemiology of some common diseases.
Here is a mock exam (set by
me in Dec 2011; next up end May 2012.) This mock covers Papers I and IIA; here is a set of
practice paper IIB questions.
The syllabus and past papers are available from the Faculty's website at http://www.fph.org.uk/
