Abstract: Medical students are known to undergo rigorous learning methods with heavy academic demands, making them more prone to experience psychological issues. Moreover, as future healthcare professionals, medical students are also required to uphold professionalism and demonstrate a high level of ethics and empathy. Therefore, the ability to manage, regulate, and utilize emotions to facilitate thinking, enhance empathy, and plan actions—skills encompassed in emotional intelligence—is essential. This study aimed to identify the level of emotional intelligence among medical student at a university in North Sulawesi. This was a quantitative and descriptive study using a survey technique with the Schutte Self Emotional Intelligence scale as the instrument. Respondents were 186 students of 7th of the Medical Study Program obtained by using the total sampling method. The results show that the emotional intelligence level of the respondents was high (77.4%) and moderate (22.6%); no students had low emotional intelligence. The highest scores were in the emotional perception aspect. In conclusion, the majority of 7th-semester students in the Medical Education Study Program at a university in North Sulawesi fall into the high and moderate categories, with none falling into the low category.
