The system of higher education of Ukraine in general and Bogomolets National Medical University in particular underwent serious transformations, first as a result of the pandemic, and then – armed aggression and the introduction of martial law. The process of forming the professional competencies of a higher education student consists of several components: the theoretical part, mastering practical skills, independent work using educational and methodological literature, interactive methods, testing, video conferences. In the conditions of martial law, modern interactive teaching methods – lectures, videos – performance of practical skills and examination of patients with certain nosologies, description and interpretation of the results of additional methods of examination of patients become important. The proposed workbook became the main tool for monitoring students' independent work, supplemented with interactive elements – QR codes, which allows the teacher to assess the quality of the student's preparation for the lesson. At the clinical base, conditions were created for continuous safe face-to-face training of students in the shelter, which made it possible to continue classes during the "Airborne alert" signal. The full-time form of education allows the student to work directly with patients. The transition to distance education significantly changed the architecture of the educational process, especially its practical part and active real communication with the teacher and patients. To determine the quality of education and improve the organization of the educational process upon completion of the cycle, graduate students were asked to complete an anonymous survey in the form of a Google questionnaire. The results of the student survey allowed the department team to identify strengths and weaknesses in the organization of the educational process for its further improvement

Background: The impact of conflict and war crisis on dental students is poorly understood. Given the prolonged conflicts and political instability in the Arabic-speaking countries, it is crucial to investigate the effect of these conditions on dental students. This study aimed to assess the impact of protracted war on dental students by comparing the personal, university, and wider context challenges they face across war-affected and unaffected countries. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted including a convenience sample of dental students from 13 universities in 12 Arabic-speaking countries. Respondents were those at entry and exit points of their undergraduate dental training. A self-administered paper questionnaire collected anonymized data on sociodemographics, and personal, university, and wider context challenges that students were facing. Multivariable Poisson regression analyses were carried out. Results: The overall response rate was 64.8%. The mean age was 21.2 (standard deviation = 2.1) years, with 68% of participants being female. After adjusting for age and sex, dental students in Arabic-speaking countries affected by protracted war crisis were significantly more likely to report wider context challenges compared to their counterparts in unaffected countries (n = 2448; beta = 1.12; 95% confidence interval: 1.10–1.13; P < 0.001). Discussion: Dental students in Arabic-speaking countries affected by protracted war crisis were more likely to suffer from wider context challenges such as difficulties in attendance due to the deterioration of security and lack of flexibility of teaching time to accommodate the different circumstances induced by the war crisis. Supporting dental students in areas affected by protracted war crises is needed and may include developing online dental education programs.
