Learning with peers

Learning from practice | Concentrated practice | Learning in formal situations | Personal study | Specific teacher inputs | Time spent on learning methods

Trainees are encouraged to learn with their peers. Trainees, particularly in the first two phases of training, will generally be placed alongside other trainees. Regional postgraduate teaching opportunities will allow trainees at different phases of training to come together for group learning.

Examination preparation for both parts of MFPH will encourage the formation of self-help groups and learning sets. Self directed trainee groups are also encouraged to meet and work together as a peer group to develop and practice specific skills such as critical appraisal, presentation, on-call debrief etc. Learning sets may be facilitated by public health specialists and senior trainees.
