War, as a major human disaster, affects many aspects of life, including medical education. This report describes curricular and extracurricular activities of the students at the Zagreb University School of Medicine during the wars in Croatia and neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although condensed versions of the curricula were prepared in case of a major breakdown in civilian life, the school maintained the continuity and quality of its curriculum throughout the war. Students engaged in extracurricular activities related to medical aspects of the war, including organization of resuscitation and first aid courses, collecting medical documentation on war victims, humanitarian help to refugees, and peace-promoting activities. Some students joined mobile surgical teams on the battlefronts. After army service, most of them returned to the school and successfully continued with their studies. The school also accepted guest-students from other new states emerged from former Yugoslavia. The authors found that the students' engagement in extracurricular activities related to medicine was enormously beneficial both to the psychological well-being of the students and to the region's peace-building efforts.
战争作为一场重大的人类灾难，影响着生活的方方面面，包括医学教育。本报告描述了克罗地亚和邻国波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那战争期间萨格勒布大学医学院学生的课程和课外活动。尽管为应对平民生活的重大崩溃准备了课程的精简版，但该校在整个战争期间保持了课程的连续性和质量。学生们参与了与战争医学方面相关的课外活动，包括组织复苏和急救课程、收集战争受害者的医疗文件、为难民提供人道主义帮助以及促进和平的活动。一些学生加入了前线的流动外科医疗队。服完兵役后，他们中的大多数人回到学校并成功继续学业。该校还接收了来自前南斯拉夫新出现的其他国家的客座学生。作者发现，学生参与与医学相关的课外活动对学生的心理健康和该地区的和平建设努力都极为有益。
