Part B of the MFPH is largely a test of practical public health skills and assesses trainees performance in simulated typical public health scenarios. 

Provisional examination dates for the OSPHE in 2013 and 2014 are below.

Trainees preparing for Part B (OSPHE) MFPH examination do not have regular, timetabled teaching.  However, examiners, trainers and post-Part B trainees across the region regularly run practice sessions on the request of trainees.

Prospective candidates are advised to contact current post-Part B trainees for advice regarding suitable practice tutors.  Recent successful candidates are responsible for organising timed mock examinations as required.

 Tips:

• Trainees are advised to apply for Part B immediately following Part A success as examination slots fill soon after results are released

• Practice sessions are usually arranged by all those planning on sitting the exam round.  Put up a post on the yahoo group as soon as you know when you are taking the exam so you can meet up with other trainees in the same position and plan some practice sessions together.

• Trainees have arranged mock part B exams for the last few sittings. Trainees who have already passed the part B will be happy to help out on the day with role play etc. 

• A selection of past papers is available on the Faculty website, and there are additional practice scenarios available from recent ‘graduates’.
