Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The doctor-patient relationship was becoming worse. More and more work-related violence has happened to physicians and nurses. A portion of medical students felt depressed and thought that the career future was gloomy. The study was designed to measure the empathy, an vital element of professionalism, well-being of mental and study emotion. Furthermore, the investigators explored an intervention of group study to promote medical students' professionalism, mental health and study emotion.
