Project Overview

This project’s main aim is to create and test a daily text messaging program called Wellness4MDs to help doctors, medical trainees, and students in Canada deal with burnout, anxiety, and depression. We want to see if getting these supportive messages every day can make these symptoms less common and less severe. By checking in with surveys, we’ll track if the program is working and if it’s helping people feel better overall.

We will create a daily text message program called Wellness4MDs to help doctors, trainees, and students with their mental health. These messages will offer support and tips for managing stress, anxiety, and burnout. We’ll ask people to fill out surveys at the start of the program and again after six weeks, three months, and six months. This will help us see if the program is making a difference in how they feel. We will analyze the survey answers to understand if the program is helping and if it’s making their mental health better.
