Faculty examinations

The MFPH consists of the Part A and the Part B (OSPHE) examinations.

The Part A exam is intended to test a candidate's knowledge and understanding of the scientific bases of public health. The Part B examination is designed as a ‘show how' assessment of the candidate's ability to apply relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to the practice of public health.

It is not necessary to hold a medical qualification to sit these examinations, nor is it necessary to be enrolled in a training course .

Success in the Part A examination leads to election into Diplomate Membership, and success in the Part B examination leads to election into Full Membership of the Faculty of Public Health.
