The aim of the study is to find out, weather the students' wellbeing and functional ability can be enhanced by two different type of mindfulness interventions: 1) face-to-face group-based training, and 2) internet-based training based in mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy. Study results may be used to decide whether it is worth offering mindfulness training for medical faculty students, and what kind of training would be most suitable and effective in the medical education context.
