The first priority of the Medical School is to offer students support for their problems and help them to overcome these problems. The School recognizes that medical students are subject to all sorts of pressures and some will find the MBBS course stressful at times; the majority will cope but the minority may find it difficult for a variety of reasons. Stress is common amongst members of the medical profession, and students are no exception. Often it is related to assessments, and as our students are academic high achievers in general, the first examination they ever fail is often in Medical School. Moreover, most of the students are away from home probably the first time. Thus homesickness adds to all the other tension.
