Abstract

Burnout is characterised by emotional anguish and exhaustion.In recent years, cynicism has become a topic of discussion, especially among medical students and doctors. This study seeks to explore imposter syndrome and burnout in medical students during online and face-to-face education. This cross-sectional study was done at Jhalawar Medical College during November to December 2021. Participants, between 18-25years, belonging to any academic year of MBBS discipline were included in the study. Most of the students preferred combined face-to-face and online education (67.4%). However, the current mode of education was online for 42.4% of the population and face-to-face (in-class education) for 57.8% of the population.
