We would like to invite all Early Career Psychiatrists (psychiatric trainees and early career specialists in adult or child and adolescent psychiatry) in Europe to participate in this survey aiming to explore the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on their education and professional development, working conditions, wellbeing and attitude to telepsychiatry. We are aware that the pandemic impacted differently psychiatrists early in their career. Some had to revamp their professional life, start using telepsychiatry without prior training, change their workplace during the pandemic, or were quarantined. Others were not able to complete their training or take obligatory courses as planned. Therefore, mapping the impact of Covid-19 in early career psychiatrists, will help us to better assess the impact to those in training or shortly after, so we can prepare better for the future. This survey is conducted by the European Psychiatric Association Early Career Psychiatrists Committee (EPA ECPC) and the Task Force on Meetings and Associations with the collaboration and support of the European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT). It is completely anonymous, includes 24 questions, and should take about 5-7 minutes to complete.   Take the survey now  For questions please contact the EPA ECPC at ecpc@europsy.net or the EFPT at president@efpt.eu.

The aim of these sessions is to provide a global and comprehensive update of the newest developments in neurobiology, psychopharmacology, treatment guidelines and person-centered care of mental disorders. The strategic approach of the lecturers is to avoid content-free eloquence and authority and to face hard questions on the base of research findings.
