THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MFFP EXAMINATION

In less than three years from the foundation of the Faculty, a Members hip examination is operational with full administrative structure and support. Some traditional forms of assessment such as the essay and th e oral have been rejected; a dissertation has been adopted as well as papers which assess problem-solving, critical appraisal and clinical m anagement skills. Passing the MFFP will be an essential step for those wishing to become specialists in family planning and reproductive hea lth care in the UK.
