What this trial studies

This study focuses on an 8-week Integrative-Mind-Body Skills Group (I-MBS-G) designed for medical graduate students to enhance their mental health through various holistic practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques. Participants will be randomized into either the intervention group, which receives the I-MBS-G, or a control group that receives Treatment-As-Usual along with reading materials. The primary goal is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention, while secondary objectives include assessing its effectiveness in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms.
