The impact of the Sudan conflict on urological surgical training: a national study of challenges, adaptations, and trainee-led pathways to resilience
The Sudan conflict has profoundly disrupted urological surgical education, creating a mental health crisis and threatening future surgical capacity. Trainees are not passive victims but architects of a potential hybrid-resilience model. Their insights point to the urgent need for a collaborative, internationally supported "Surgical Training Support Framework" that integrates psychological support, a structured blended-learning curriculum, and guaranteed resource funding.
