An audit of training in public health medicine

Postgraduate training is one of the core functions of every specialty. The Trainee Members Committee of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine audited the quality of training in public health medicine according to guidelines set by the Education Committee of the Faculty. The survey identified several weaknesses in training which need to be remedied by Faculty Members. This audit model would prove useful to other specialties and the benefit of trainee involvement in the Committee structure of the Faculty is highlighted.
