The effect of Mind Body Medicine course on medical student empathy: a pilot study.

Conclusion Our study demonstrated that the inverse relationship increased stress and decreased empathy among first-year medical students and participation in the MBM course did not attenuate the changes. However, a statistically significant rise in the depression score in the non-MBM group was not observed in the MBM group. PMID: 28165936 [PubMed - in process]
