As the reserve force of the healthcare system, medical students face heavy academic workloads, distinctive career paths, and psychological challenges, including academic pressure and career anxiety. The family, as the fundamental environment for individual development, plays an irreplaceable role in their mental health. This study examines the relationship between family education and medical students' mental health across four dimensions—family atmosphere, parenting styles, parent-child communication, and family expectations—revealing both positive and negative effects. Countermeasures are proposed from a collaborative perspective involving families, universities, students, and the community, providing practical support for promoting medical students' mental health and cultivating high-quality medical professionals.
