Burnout rates are on the rise in medical professionals beginning during undergraduate medical education. Approximately 49% of medical students in the US experience burnout out. Coping strategies (e.g., self-blame, denial) and patterns of behavior (e.g., lack of consistent physical exercise)  contribute to and predict medical student distress and burnout. Self care can reducing and help prevent burnout in medical students. Providers with consistent daily self care routines have improved psychological well-being profiles and increased quality of patient care. In fact, providers who care for themselves tend to have larger percentage of patients who adopt healthy lifestyles. Furthermore, physician well-being positively correlates with compassionate patient care. The development and maintenance of early self care and wellness habits have been the focus of  several undergraduate medical academic programs. Students entering medical school come with existing levels of stress, self-care habits, and happiness.  The usefulness of student wellness programs may depend on student baseline levels of stress, self-care habits, and happiness.  We sought to measure baseline stress, self-care habits, and happiness utilizing the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Mindful Self Care (MSC) Survey at baseline in first year medical students to adapt self care and wellness curriculum.
