PREPARING FOR THE PART A EXAMINATION OF THE FACULTY OF PUBLIC HEALTH (MFPH)
I run a revision course for the Part A exam. This is a two-day course which focuses on exam technique. It is suitable for people who have completed a Masters course or equivalent basic learning.
Next courses in England:
For people sitting in June 2010:
Winchester 29th/ 30th March 2010
Winchester 12th / 13th April 2010
How to apply:
Send me an email at the above address, stating when you plan to sit the exam. (Different arrangements apply in Hong Kong.)
Downloads:
Click here for the course handout including tips on technique.
This is the full text version. To read before or after but this is NOT what you need on the course. Other bits and bobs for the exam include a couple of examples of critical appraisal, both about 1200 - 1300 words which is what you would write in 40 minutes in the exam. One is for an intervention study and the other for a systematic review. And, only for the truly desperate, here is a summary of the epidemiology of some common diseases.
I run a blog of interesting papers in journals which I try to update most weeks.
Here is a mock paper (set by me in January 2010). The syllabus and past papers are available from the Faculty's website at http://www.fph.org.uk/
