Effects of extracurricular activities, social support, and rest on three dimensions of burnout syndrome among Thai pre-clerkship medical students: a cross-sectional study
Our findings suggest that medical schools may design their pre-clerkship curricula and support structures to encourage student participation in extracurricular activities, support adequate sleep, and minimize commute time by providing accommodation facilities, as these may be associated with a lower risk of burnout among medical students.
