The Doctors' e-cohort Study is a longitudinal study funded by the Australian Research Council in partnership with Queensland Health and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and it aims to examine patterns of recruitment and retention in the Australian medical practitioner workforce.

The personal and public health consequences of a shortage and maldistribution of doctors in Australia, and particularly in Queensland, have been highly publicised. Job retention rates and the safety and quality of medical practice are influenced by multiple factors including the mental and physical health, gender, and varying motivations and workplace expectations of different generations of graduates.

The Doctors' e-cohort Study will use innovative technology to undertake a comprehensive exploration of the factors influencing the careers decisions of Australian doctors and medical students, and the recruitment and retention of doctors in metropolitan, rural and remote regions.
