Summary: Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic took the world by surprise. Globally, everything has stopped. Medical Students continue their education through online learning. The sudden shift from traditional face to face to virtual meetings might cause stress on students. Tis research paper aimed to determine the level of stress and the factors contributing to stress in distance learning among medical students. A total of 269 medical students participated voluntarily in the analysis using an online survey questionnaire that was based on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The study revealed that female medical students have higher perceived stress score than their male counterparts. It was also found out through the survey, that the majority of the participants agree that the internet connectivity and the environment that they are in, are considered as factor that contribute to their stress in distance learning. Demand can be a stressor that puts students at risk of falling into depression due to an increased work load in addition to technical difficulties experienced by some students. As a result, subject departments were advised to give students more time to submit a course requirement, to conduct asynchronous classes and provide pre-recorded lectures and clear assessment methods, and to avoid additional requirements as a substitute for the missed exam.
