Importance-There are concerns about the current quality of undergraduate medical education (UME) and its effect on students' well-being.Objective-This systematic review was designed to identify best practices for UME learning environment interventions that are associated with improved emotional well-being of students.Data Sources-Learning environment interventions were identified by searching the biomedical electronic databases Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and the ERIC database from the database inception dates to October 2016. Studies examined any intervention designed to promote medical students' emotional well-being in the setting of a US academic medical school, with an outcome defined as students' reports of well-being as assessed by surveys, semistructured interviews, or other quantitative methods.Data Extraction and Synthesis-Two investigators independently reviewed abstracts and full-text articles. Data were extracted into tables to summarize results. Study quality was assessed by the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERQSI), which has a possible range of 5-18; higher scores indicate higher design and methods quality, and a score of ≥ 14 indicates a high-quality study.Findings-Twenty-eight articles including at least 8224 participants met eligibility criteria. Study designs included single-group cross-sectional or post-test only (n=10), single-group pre-/ post-test (n=2), nonrandomized two-group (n=13), and randomized clinical trial (n=3); 93% were

TTENTION TO DEPRESSION AND suicide in physicians is long overdue. As early as 1858, physicians in England observed that a higher suicide rate exists among physicians than the general population. 1 Since the 1960s, research confirmed physicians' higher suicide rate and identified depression as a major risk factor. 2,3 Most strikingly, suicide is a disproportionately high cause of mortality in physicians, 4 with all published studies 5,6 indicating a particularly high suicide rate in female physicians.Inattention to depression and suicide in physicians sharply contrasts with heightened attention to physicians' smoking-related mortality. Since the 1960s, declines of 40% to 60% have oc-Author Affiliations: Employment Law Center and the
