abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between academic burnout and academic self-efficacy in medical students.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study group comprised 446 students in years 1 to 4 of medical school. They were asked to rate their academic burnout and academic self-efficacy on a scale. The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance and regression analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Academic self-efficacy was correlated negatively with academic burnout explaining 37% of academic burnout.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
