 This study assessed the relationship between self-esteem and academic performance in undergraduate medical students of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. The results showed no significant correlation between the two variables. However, female students had slightly higher academic performance scores and self-esteem than their male counterparts, but this difference was not statistically significant. Further research is needed to explore other factors that may influence academic performance. This article was authored by Arslan Javed, Farah Khan, Nadia Sajed, and others.
