  • Summary

  • The Psych Review is a podcast reviewing recent developments in Australian psychiatry. The cast is hosted by four psychiatric doctors: Alanna, Shakira, Mazz, and Dave.

    We realise how hard it can be to stay on top of the latest research, so we created this cast to help our colleagues (and ourselves) keep up to date, in quick summary shows of less than 30 minutes.

    Disclaimer: The Psych Review is not affiliated in any way with The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) nor either of the RANZCP journals, The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry (ANZJP) or Australasian Psychiatry.
