Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goals of this randomized controlled trial are 1) to test the efficacy of an app-based program in reducing physician burnout vs. no app (control) in 100 physicians; 2) to explore the role of an online live training to augment outcomes and develop an ongoing and sustainable support community with a subsample of physicians.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental: Early App-Delivered Mindfulness Training (MT).

Participants will be asked to utilize the app designed to reduce burnout for 2 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

App-Delivered Mindfulness Training (MT).

Intervention Type OTHER

The program is delivered via a smartphone-based platform, which includes 7 mindfulness-based modules of about 15 minutes of brief didactic and experience-based for two weeks

Later App-Delivered Mindfulness Training (MT).

Group Type OTHER

App-Delivered Mindfulness Training (MT).

Intervention Type OTHER

The program is delivered via a smartphone-based platform, which includes 7 mindfulness-based modules of about 15 minutes of brief didactic and experience-based for two weeks

Experimental: Online Virtual Training

A sub-group of participants will receive the virtual online training after three-month follow-up or directly after the app-based intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

App-Delivered Mindfulness Training (MT).

Intervention Type OTHER

The program is delivered via a smartphone-based platform, which includes 7 mindfulness-based modules of about 15 minutes of brief didactic and experience-based for two weeks

Online Virtual Training

Intervention Type OTHER

A sub-group of 25 participants, either from the both intervention or control group, the will receive a virtual online training delivered via zoom calls. It is a group session program which includes 4 mindfulness-based sessions of about 60 minutes of brief didactic and experience-based for four weeks.
