Stress generated during the curriculum might have deleterious effects on the wellbeing and the health of medical students. Objective and Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) will be incorporated soon in the certification process as a final national undergraduate ranking examination. This exam will be an additional major stressor for medical students. Stress coping strategies could be implemented to help them better prepare for this examination. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency on stress reduction of three different 6-minutes coping interventions in medical student, few minutes prior to the OSCE.
