Abstract Background At the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, strict measures suspended face-to-face teaching at German universities, posing significant challenges for medical education. Practical, patient-centered training couldn’t be fully replaced by online formats, leading to skill deficits and increased stress among students. To date, no study has examined impact on resilience competence graduates so far. This aims address this knowledge gap investigating pandemic resilience, competence, communication skills, research graduates. Methods The employed data from “Bavarian Graduate Study Medicine” (MediBAS), a cross-sectional evaluation survey conducted in cooperation with Bavarian universities Institute higher education planning. It targeted medical, dental, veterinary were collected two waves (2018/19 2022/23), 1.114 human medicine participating. questionnaire assessed others expertise, competence. Statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, Mann-Whitney-U tests due non-normal distribution. Results analyzed self-assessed communication, skills waves. findings demonstrated through statistics decline all competencies except which exhibited an increase. Correlation revealed relationships between variables. differences ( p =.079, r =.06), expertise =.117, =.05), =.053, =.07), or =.106, =.05). Conclusion graduates’ While there was slight waves, improvement None these changes statistically significant. suggest that may have contributed trends limiting practical experiences. No major negative impacts found, suggesting “lost generation” doctors. long-term effects remain uncertain design require further research.

Medical workshops serve as interactive learning sessions that allow medical students to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge in a structured, low-stress environment. This study aimed evaluate the impact of self-developed multidisciplinary workshop on participants' self-reported confidence, teamwork, leadership skills, and acquisition. The present gathered data from 100 participants. Two surveys, each comprising three sections, were administered: multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ), with distinct versions for pre- post-workshop assessment; self-confidence questionnaire; non-technical skills structured using Likert-scale format. Regarding self-assessed significant increases observed across all stations (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), effect sizes classified large (Cohen's d > 0.8). In terms knowledge, demonstrated substantial improvement, median score increasing 5.92 8.2, no differences identified between years = 0.895). Non-technical including teamwork leadership, assessed two questions each, revealing statistically improvement post-intervention 0.001) sizes. one-day students' confidence by refining communication broadening understanding different roles healthcare, improving ability collaborate effectively.

International medical electives (IMEs) are considered high-impact practice in global health education. Nevertheless, international elective (IME) research remains scarce, with only a few new publications appearing each year. The discrepancy between the many unanswered questions regarding IMEs and lack of opportunities to perform this field has been further aggravated by COVID-19 pandemic. Elective databases cataloguing structured IME reports/testimonies could offer viable solution here. This narrative review provides balanced objective evaluation strengths weaknesses databases, summarizing their potential usefulness research.
