The Diploma in Pharmaceutical Medicine (DPM) training programme has been designed by FPM to prepare candidates for the Certificate in Pharmaceutical Medicine (CPM) and Diploma in Pharmaceutical Medicine (DPM) exams.
The programme is mapped to the PharmaTrain syllabus, on which the CPM and DPM exams are based, aiming to improve knowledge across six broad topic areas, with three additional exam technique courses that explore technique and question practice across the three types of papers that feature in the CPM and DPM exams.
Please note, you can choose to purchase passed modules, which contain recordings of the live expert sessions. We estimate that the entire programme requires around 120 hours private study so if you are planning on taking this year’s examinations we recommend that by around the time of the start of Module 3, you consider whether you have enough time to complete the programme.
DPM training is changing in 2023. For the first time, programme content will be delivered through FPM’s new learning management system (LMS), providing flexibility that allows participants to make more effective use of their time, as well as offering focused support and resources.
The first six modules cover specific topics, delivered over consecutive calendar months, and feature guided learning paths containing a range of self-study materials, as well as live expert-led sessions, delivered via Zoom to allow for face-to-face interaction of more complex topics and the opportunity for Q&A.
The self-study materials provided in the programme during a module month may include:
The final three modules are training courses, delivered via self-study materials in the LMS and with live sessions running on a specific day. Each course will focus on exam technique and provide helpful hints and tips for the three types of papers found in the CPM and the DPM exams: multiple choice questions (MCQs), short answer questions (SAQ) and the critical appraisal paper (CAP).
Programme duration: 1 March – 5 October 2023
*recordings of live sessions will be made available shortly after the stated live dates, for those who have other commitment on the day of live delivery and for revision purposes.
The modules may be bought individually or as a series and are provided with a license to access the materials contained in the LMS for 24 months from the start of the programme i.e., 1 March, allowing for revision and review after exam results are released.
Participants may register on the modules at any time throughout the duration of the programme, however we strongly recommend following the schedule to allow for adequate preparation ahead of the exams.
Please note, to access this course, you will need a computer and a good internet connection, and some means of making your own revision notes.
