Participants included postgraduate year 2-4 residents in an adult psychiatry program.

Learner confidence was measured using pre- and post-session surveys.

Main Results:

Confidence significantly improved in app appraisal (P=.03), digital health literacy assessment (P=.01), recommending tools (P=.03), and prescribing digital therapeutics (P=.03).
Post-curriculum confidence ratings, while improved, remained below "somewhat comfortable" in key areas.
The curriculum successfully addressed core objectives related to digital mental health competency.

Conclusions:

Implementing a digital psychiatry curriculum for residents is feasible across training levels.
Formal curriculum can enhance resident confidence in appraising and clinically utilizing digital mental health technologies.
This study highlights the need for structured education in digital psychiatry for future clinicians.
