Brief Summary

Objective structured clinical examinations (ECOS) are playing an increasingly important role in the training and assessment of medical students, and now account for 30% of the grade for access to the 3rd cycle of medical studies. Although students generally seem to have a favorable opinion of this examination modality, several studies have reported that ECOS are a greater source of stress than other types of examination, particularly written examinations. The investigators aim to assess the benefits of a stress management training for medical students, on the negative impact of stress during ECOS. The investigators hypothesize that training in stress management could be beneficial for medical students, in particular to prepare them mentally to limit the negative impact of stress durgin ECOS, and ultimately reduce their overall stress and potentially improve their performance.
