Exams

All public health trainees are expected to obtain Membership of the Faculty of Public Health, via examination. Membership of the Faculty of Public Health consists of the PartA exam and the PartB exam.

The Part A exam is a written exam designed to test knowledge and understanding of the scientific bases of public health and the ability to apply knowledge and skills to the practice of public health.

The PartB exam, or Objective Structured Public Health Examination (OSPHE), is an oral scenario-based exam designed to allow a candidate to demonstrate their ability to apply relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to the practice of public health. In addition, theoretical and practical aspects of public health practice need to be demonstrated in order to be successful.

In the Oxford Deanery trainees are required to sit the Faculty of Public Health’s Part A membership exam between one and two years after starting the programme, and the Part B exam six to nine months later.
