What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to understand the overall health of medical students from their first year of medical school through residency. It examines their mental, physical, and metabolic health over at least ten years. The researchers seek to learn how the demands of medical education impact students' well-being and use this knowledge to develop better support systems. Medical students at SHSU College of Osteopathic Medicine may be suitable candidates for this study. As an unphased trial, it offers a unique opportunity to contribute to enhancing support systems for future medical students.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it aims to delve into the wellness of osteopathic medical students throughout their training. Unlike traditional medical studies that focus on physical health conditions, this trial targets mental and emotional well-being, which is crucial for future healthcare providers. By tracking different classes over several years, the trial seeks to uncover stress patterns and wellness dynamics unique to osteopathic students. This could lead to tailored wellness strategies that enhance mental health support specifically designed for the rigors of osteopathic medical training.
