Study showed that medical students suffer from higher stress than other faculty students. Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the reporting of stress as evident among medical students in Malaysia. Design: It was a retrospective systematic review of literatures. Materials and Method: Literature was searched through electronic databases for English articles published on stress and other psychological determinants among Malaysian medical students till September 2012. Searched terms used combinations of the related terms. Total 13 articles were reviewed and data were extracted. Results: Stress among Malaysian medical students was as high as 56% which is alarming. Year of study, financial problem and relationship problem with parents, siblings and lecturers were the significant determinants. Examination and academic related stressors were the most significant source and religion was the mostly used coping strategy. Conclusions: Medical education is highly stressful to students.
