Abstract

Background: Australasian Psychiatry frequently publishes on topics directly relevant for trainees of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP). Examples include beginners’ guides to conducting research, how to approach the major training assessments and even evaluating trainees’ experiences of their own training. However, there is no definitive list or resource collecting all such articles for ease of reference. Objectives: As part of our role as Trainee Editors for Australasian Psychiatry, we sought to systematically identify all past publications from the journal with subject matter particularly relevant for trainees. The results of such a search could then be collated into an easily accessible resource available to trainees and their supervisors. Methods: An electronic search of the journal’s back catalogue was conducted. Search terms and inclusion criteria were deliberately broad – any paper that appeared aimed towards trainees was included. Findings: Eighty-seven relevant articles were discovered from within Australasian Psychiatry. The topics most extensively covered were the scholarly project and formulation skills. However, other important themes identified included supervision, the psychotherapy written case and trainee welfare. Conclusion: Australasian Psychiatry has published a wealth of literature that is likely to be of significant benefit for trainees as they work their way through the RANZCP training programme. This review also helped identify topic areas that may benefit from increased focus in the journal in future years, such as the Objective Structured Clinical Exam and written exams.
