“…The overarching themes described were similar despite the type of health professional trainee, diversity in conflicts, duration of conflicts, countries involved, and time periods, suggesting they might provide a useful framework for future research. Such a framework can also enable faculty, school administrators, governmental and nongovernmental organisations, researchers, and policymakers to share common understandings of indicators in assessing health care education and to more strategically address educational needs during times of conflict 52 . The targeted interventions identified in this review have the potential for both positive and negative impacts if replicated in the future.…”

Decreased length of training and increased training in critical care and war time topics increase the health care workforce in the short-term, addressing emergent needs.…”

“…During curriculum development, the following factors should be considered: the local patient case mix (consideration to be given to both high-volume patient presentations and low-volume, high-risk patient presentations); developing situational awareness across the continuum of critical care (Bekkink et al,2018;Herath et al,2017;Muya et al2018). It is also important to consider routine procedures and care including points of care transitions (handover, discharge planning, and specific situations such as end of life care); availability of local human resources and clinical/educational supplies must also be considered with curriculum designed to incorporate local needs and resources (Bekkink et al,2018;Herath et al, 2017;Muya et al, 2018).…”
