New app to help doctors in training with mental health

02 Nov 2023

The Black Dog Institute has released a new app providing mental health support for doctors in training.

Shift is an app based on recognised, evidence-based psychological approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and stress management.

The app provides therapeutic, psychoeducational content and strategies contextualised for the specific needs of doctors in training.

Early results of testing of the Shift app were positive, and the app is now being refined in preparation for a nation-wide randomised controlled trial.

It will be the largest trial of such an intervention for doctors in training conducted anywhere in the world.

Doctors in training anywhere in Australia and can register now to take part.
