Medical Student Well-Being Index

Transform the Approach to Well-Being

Throughout medical training, providing an environment that promotes positive development is extremely important. However, many studies have reported that students in medical education and training experience an environment that is overall not favorable for success.

Helping Medical Schools and Individuals Screen Psychological Well-Being

The Medical Student Well-Being Index was invented by Mayo Clinic and is a reliable tool that helps medical schools and individuals screen psychological well-being. It evaluates fatigue, depression, burnout, anxiety/stress, and mental/physical quality of life in medical students. It has been validated as an accurate tool to predict and help identify students with severe distress for early intervention.

Prevents Distress and Harmful Habits

Emphasizing the importance of wellness during schooling is the most effective tactic to reduce distress and harmful habits down the road. Teaching the habit of continual self-assessment will increase well-being awareness and the ability to associate the effect certain events have on their well-being. Reinforcing resiliency is perhaps one of the top skills a successful medical professional can have.
