How do medical students perceive interventions that have been described in the literature (pass/fail grading, a peer-to-peer mentoring program, Balint groups, and self-management courses)? Possible solutions students brought up were for instance a mandatory lecture about stress related to medical school, coping strategies and support contacts. Participants proposed shortening clinical trainings, or to move them towards the end of the medical curriculum to avoid that students have to pass other exams right before the second state examination. In our eight focus groups, students suggested specific solutions to their perceived obstacles in medical school. Importantly, while setting-based interventions are sometimes considered expensive or difficult to implement [7] , most ideas in the focus groups (e.g. attendance rules, a new course selection procedure, teaching guidelines) seem easily feasible and resource-friendly and will not only improve wellbeing, but also academic performance.	./cache/cord-013263-xw611i8k.txt	./txt/cord-013263-xw611i8k.txt
