The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have created an educational crisis that has forced educators to switch to distance learning. The rapid transition proved to be a difficult challenge for both students and teachers, given the need to apply new teaching and learning methods. Despite numerous discussions about the specifics of conducting the educational process in wartime, no one doubted that it was necessary to continue providing educational services. The state developed recommendations for educators and took specific measures to optimise the provision of educational services. The primary challenge for educators was the need for rapid adaptation, for which they were not prepared, especially in the area of clinical skills training. Teaching in the new conditions required the availability of appropriate technical capabilities, access to a stable internet network, and proficiency in the relevant digital skills by all participants in the educational process. De spite compliance with the above conditions, educators encountered certain difficulties that were common to all participants in the educational process. In order to develop a strategy for eliminating them, it was necessary to clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. The advantages include the possibility of using modern teaching methodologies, flexibility of classes, comfortable learning conditions, saving time on commuting, and the possibility of individual planning of classes. Significant disadvantages include the lack of personal contact between teachers and students, which contributes to a decrease in motivation to study, difficulties in developing and mastering practical skills, and the possibility of connection failure. An analysis of the literature showed that the ability to adapt depends most on the psychological profile of the individual, the level of motivation to learn, and the development of self-learning skills and competencies.
