Training policy

The typical training programme for specialising in public health is normally five years full time. This usually includes undertaking a taught academic (Master's in Global Health Science) course to provide essential knowledge for the discipline.

Those who already have the necessary knowledge base, or who have already completed a Master's in Public Health, will be able to reduce their total training time. Previous experience may also reduce training time, if trainees can show the competencies that they have gained through this experience.

Across the Oxford Deanery, public health training is identical for individuals from medical and non-medical backgrounds.
