The mental health of medical students is impacted by stressors. The problem was that medical students experienced high levels of stress compared to the general public. The research gap was the underexplored area of underrepresented minority students in medicine. The purpose of this quantitative descriptive research study was to assess and categorize the self-reported data on stress levels of medical students and the types of stressors impacting mental health based on the year in medical school, gender, race/ethnicity, and the utilization of university health services for stress and coping management. The theoretical framework combined the transactional theory of stress and coping and self-efficacy. Three research questions assessed the self-reported stress levels of second-year through fourth-year students, described the most common stressors, and behavioral health services utilization. A quantitative descriptive design was used, with a population of 450, and 64 for sample size. Students in years two through four were selected. Data collection consisted of demographic questions and the Medical Student's Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ) survey. The data analysis procedure used JASP for descriptive analyses and reviewing frequencies. Results revealed high levels of stress in the academic-related stressor domain. The most common stressors were "need to do well (self-expectation)", and "tests/examinations". Also, 51.5% utilized services, while 48.4% did not. Academic stress and pressure to do well remained high. Students need resources for coping. Higher education, health institutions, and medical faculty will benefit from this research to identify the stressors among the medical student body and coping techniques.
