description As healthcare workers around the world teeter on the verge of burnout, exhaustion, and mental illness in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this article seeks to discuss the wellbeing of a significant demographic: The medical students.

Recognizing these as potential sources of problems and future burnout, we propose possible interventions that could rectify these issues and promote their well-being.
