Burnout and Alcohol Use in Medical Students

Are Your Students Stressed Out?

The Problem:

  • Burn out impacts 50% of medical students1
  • 1 in 10 medical students have thoughts of suicide1
  • 1 in 3 medical students meet alcohol or other substance misuses criteria2
  • Burntout correlates with health issues such as higher BMI, poor sleep, less exercise, and low career satisfaction3, 4, 5, 6, 7

The Solution:

  • What We’re Doing: Under funding from the NIAAA, we are developing Clinical Encounters: Medical School, a simulated experience designed to help prevent and address burnout in medical students.
  • What We’re Seeking: In order to guide this development, we are looking for feedback from medical students to better understand their experience with burn out.

The Benefit Of Feedback:

  • For Students: Helps identify individual experiences with stress, as well as the coping mechanisms employed to deal with these situations. Additionally, feedback from students helps guide the development of a game-based intervention which can help learners identify and overcome situations where burn out is an issue.
  • For Faculty: Helps educators learn more about their students and the issues of stress / burnout they are facing, as well as the coping mechanisms they employ to deal with the situation.

Clinical Encounters: Medical School was developed by Clinical Tools, Inc. through an NIAAA grant (#1 R43 AA026474-01). The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the NIAAA.
