Public Health Textbook
The Public Health Textbook is an online resource which covers all the public
health skills and competencies. It has been organised in relation to the Faculty
of Public Health Part A membership examination syllabus. Although the textbook
is particularly helpful for Paper I of the exam, the resource is also of benefit
for anyone who is interested in expanding their public health knowledge. In
addition to the textbook, you may find it useful to access the helpful tips and
frameworks for passing Part A. Public Health practitioners interested in
resources for Paper II may like to view the interactive
learning modules on critical appraisal and data manipulation.
