Overwhelming stress or burnout has been observed in medical students, including 69% of surgical interns. This study aimed to assess the stress levels of fifth-year medical students during surgical training. An education curriculum with both clinical and research sessions was evaluated for its effect on the interns’ stress and grit levels. A blinded, prospective study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of an educational program on the recognition and management of stress. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to assess anxiety. The Grit Scale was used to quantify the interns’ grit, conscientiousness, and self-control. The STAI survey results showed that the STAI state scores but not the trait scores were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group ( p  &lt; 0.05). Additionally, the postintervention STAI score and the change in the STAI score were both lower in the intervention group ( p  &lt; 0.05). There was a significant increase in grit among the medical students in the intervention group from baseline to post-intervention ( p  &lt; 0.001). The scores of the consistency and perseverance subscales of the Grit Scale also increased significantly from baseline to post-intervention (both  p  &lt; 0.001). The education curriculum can improve interns’ stress management and grit levels. We believe this curriculum needs to be implemented in medical education, and we plan to continue the program.
