Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the feasibility of delivering a structured resilience curriculum to novice physicians-in-training, we propose a pilot study to evaluate recruitment rates, course attendance and compliance with follow-up surveys. If our study can demonstrate feasibility in course delivery, further engagement of postgraduate specialty programs will facilitate conduct of an appropriately powered randomised controlled trial.
