Mind over Matter: Tracking Medical Students' Self-perceptions of Wellness at the USMLE Step 1 Juncture.
This study examines medical students' self-reported wellness during the USMLE Step 1 dedicated study period at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Data from 40 participants revealed significant fluctuations in emotional and physical well-being. Students commonly described feeling "nervous" and "anxious," with fewer positive terms like "connected." After receiving their Step 1 scores, negative descriptors decreased, and positive ones, including "connected," increased. However, as students transitioned to clinical coursework, feelings of isolation and anxiety returned. These findings highlight the ongoing impact of stress and anxiety throughout the study period and into the clinical phase of medical education.
