Abstract
Life is stressful—a condition that can be compounded for physicians. One solution to the dilemma of managing stress lies in prevention. Some proponents of this method have suggested prescreening medical school applicants for their ability to handle stress and teaching values clarification during medical school (Spears 1981). Others have suggested making support groups, stress management techniques, and methods for early identification of problems during medical training a part of every medical school (Gerber 1983; Hoferik 1981).
