• The first sentence of the Background section was changed from “The medical education curriculum is considered a difficult syllabus is given the breadth and the depth of the material that needs to be learned and the continuous various forms of assessments” TO "The study of medicine is perceived as being stressful and this was attributed to the breadth and the depth of the material that needs to be learned and the continuous various forms of assessments".

• The phrase “It is important to note that besides the pressure the medical students encounter due to academics, they also face non-academic-related sources of stress such as social, emotional, physical, and family problems that may affect their learning abilities and academic performance adversely” was deleted from Page 2.
