Background and aims: Providing evidence-based, well-designed psychotherapy teaching for medical students and residents is urgently needed. The aim of this project is to measure the effectiveness of a newly multimodal psychotherapy teaching program for medical students and residents in China.

Design: This study will be a two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT). The intervention group will receive a two-day multimodal-based intensive educational intervention with 8 weeks follow-up (supervision based online teaching). The wait-list control group will not receive the intervention until the end of the study. Both groups will be followed up to 8 weeks.

Setting: This trial will be conduct at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital.

Participants: This study aims to recruit about 160 medical students and residents, with approximately 80 in each group.

Measurements: The primary outcome measure is the changes of the Facilitative Interpersonal Skills task (FIS) scores. Secondary outcome measures include: training program acceptability; trainees' psychotherapy knowledge; utilization of psychotherapy; and self-reported self-efficacy and self-reported motivation for psychotherapy.
