Enhancing Medical School Student Well-being: A Comprehensive Analysis of Life101 Self-assessment Tool in Pre-clinical Years: Innovations: Utilizing The Life101 Assessment in First Year M.D. Students.

Our study utilized Life101, a new self-assessment inventory, to assess changes in life skill competencies in students over the first year of medical school. Life101 employs nine scales centered around ubiquitous experiences to assess the relationships between beliefs and outcomes.
