Brief Summary
Medical students are at high risk of stress. This project will test how well a 12-week stress reduction program works to reduce stress, anxiety and depression and improve well-being. The program is delivered online and each week is made of an introduction video, 7-8 minutes of yoga, 5-7 minutes of meditation and nutrition tips. At the beginning and the end of the 12-week research study, we will be using surveys to ask students about their stress, anxiety, depression, sense of control over their own life, quality of life, and pain levels. After the program, the research team will conduct interviews with the medical student to allow them to share their other feedback about the program. The researchers will also send surveys to the medical students one month after the program ends to asses their continued satisfaction with and adherence to the program.
