This workshop is part of the college’s commitment to building a holistic educational environment that addresses psychological as well as academic aspects, and seeks to empower students to achieve excellence through a balance between intellectual preparedness and psychological well-being. The workshop aimed to educate students on how to manage the anxiety and stress associated with exam periods, both before and during exams, by providing practical guidance and techniques to help control psychological pressures and transform them into positive motivation for success. The workshop covered various scientific topics, most notably: identifying the causes and symptoms of exam anxiety, methods for effective psychological preparation before the exam, time management and study organization strategies, as well as deep breathing exercises and mental relaxation techniques that help achieve calmness and focus inside the exam hall, along with guidance on dealing with the fear of difficult questions and quickly regaining focus. The workshop saw significant engagement from students, as real-life scenarios were presented and practical solutions were discussed to help them handle stress with confidence and reassurance, which positively impacts their academic performance. The College Dean’s Office emphasized that such events embody its commitment to providing comprehensive support for students that goes beyond the academic aspect to include care for their mental health, thereby contributing to the development of well-rounded medical professionals capable of handling future work pressures.
