Nearly half of all medical school students experience burnout, and 11 percent indicate having suicidal thoughts, according to a study conducted by Liselotte Dyrbye of the Mayo Clinic. Dyrbye and her colleagues surveyed 2,248 students from seven different medical schools to find out how many students suffered from burnout, which they defined as "emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low sense of personal accomplishment." The study also concluded that each year spent in medical school increases the chances that a student will experience burnout. Dyrbye said that though not many people are aware of the issue, schools are beginning to acknowledge the needs of their students, The New York Times reported. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education requires that medical schools provide their students with counseling services in order to keep their accreditation, according to The Times.
