Introduction:
In Mexico there is a lack of knowledge about the importance of promotion of psychological well-being in Medical Education. Most of the research focuses on the pathologies developed during his journey as a student in relation to the adverse environments they face.

Conclusions:
Most of the residents showed levels of medium and low psychological well-being, which make reference to the relevant decision made by the corresponding authorities that include the promotion of psychological well-being within the formal curriculum of Medical Education.
