Abstract
Much has been written about stress in medical education. This review reports the causes and period
of stress, gender issues, coping strategies, stress management techniques and their effects. It also
highlights the fact that stress may not be unique or specific to the medical profession. Perhaps it is
hyped because we expect a medical student not to be affected by stress or capable of handling it.
Another important factor for consideration is that since stress is reported world over it should be dealt
as a global issue, with its prevention, identification and management made an integral part of the
medical curriculum
