This study used a correlational quantitative research design using The Maslach Burnout Inventory- Student Survey (MBI-SS) scale and the Indonesian version of the ARS Scale. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling with a total of 109 respondents of preclinical students of medical education study programs in Indonesia. The results found that the correlation value between academic resilience and academic burnout was r = -0.64 (p = 0.00 < 0.05) so it can be concluded that there is a significant negative relationship between academic resilience and academic burnout in medical education study programs students in Indonesia.
