Introduction: Academic burnout syndrome is a latent process that occurs due to the overload of information, exams, assignments, reports that the student receives and subjects them to a lack of absolute control over the school environment that leads to frustration, apathy and anguish. . The high incidence of burnout in medical students has generated negative impacts on mental well-being, with an increase in depression. Objective: Determine the association between academic burnout syndrome and depression in human medicine students at the Andean University of Cusco, 2023. Materials and methods: Correlational, cross-sectional and observational study. Sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience. The sample was made up of 287 human medicine students from the Andean University of Cusco who had not been diagnosed with depression before entering the university, to whom the Maslach Burnout inventory student survey and the PHQ-9 were applied. For statistical analysis, Spearman's non-parametric test was used to evaluate associations between variables. Results: A correlation was determined between the variable academic burnout syndrome and depression (Rho=0.421; p=0.000). In addition, correlations were found between the dimensions of burnout; emotional exhaustion (Rho=0.371, p=0.000), cynicism (Rho=0.526; p=0.000), academic efficacy (Rho=-0,230; p=0.000) with depression. No correlations were found between sociodemographic variables (age, gender) and burnout (p>0.01). Likewise, no association was identified between the curricular area and academic burnout (p>0.01). A moderate frequency of academic burnout syndrome was evident in human medicine students (23.3%), as well as a diverse distribution in depression levels: mild (28.9%), moderate (29.3%), moderately severe (17.4%) and severe (12.5%). Conclusions: There is a directly proportional relationship between academic burnout syndrome and depression, that is, as burnout exists and increases, there will be greater depressive symptoms.
