description Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional digestive disorder that affects medical students at a higher rate than the general population. Intern doctors are the most affected class by IBS among medical students. Determining the prevalence of IBS and associated risk factors is essential for taking preventive measures. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of IBS among intern doctors in this study. This study was conducted using an online survey for intern doctors in the 2021-2022 academic year.
