Objectives: This study aims to investigate the level of Career Resilience among Medical Staff members and examine the psychometrics of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Subjects and Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study; the study population included medical staff from basic and clinical departments at the Faculty Of Medicine, Suez Canal University (FOM-SCU) (n=75). The instrument was Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) to assess medical staffs’ career resilience. Results: This study reveals that the medical staff at FOM-SCU agreed that things happen for a reason, past success gives them confidence for new challenge and, sometimes fate or God can help (78%, 72% and 72%, respectively). Ninety two percent of participants had a resilience score of ?50%. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) of the CD-RISC was conducted. This analysis yielded four factors. These factors were labeled as follows: Factor 1: Personal Competence, Factor 2: Tolerance of Negative Affect; Factor 3: Acceptance of change, secure relationships, and spiritual influences; and Factor 4: Control. Conclusion: The findings revealed that the medical staff received a high level of career resilience, and they especially felt that God gives them confidence. Resilience reveals how the medical staff copes with change and how they face challenges and risk events in the health profession. This study assessed the psychometric properties of the CD-RISC questionnaire and concluded that it is a reliable and valid instrument to measure career resilience in medical staff.

Purpose: Explore the impact of the sudden shift from face-to-face learning to online learning. Methods: A Mixed Method approach study was conducted, where both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect and analyse data. The study started with the qualitative component where three focus groups were conducted to identify the SWOT analysis of the current situation and after that thorough documentation review and analysis were performed. After that, the emergency response plan was formulated with specific priorities, goals, and objectives. Following the planning and implementation of the emergency response plan, the evaluation component was conducted as the quantitative component of this study where a comprehensive sample of all undergraduate students from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS) Program, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) Program, and Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) Program were involved (n=371) and the faculty staff members were involved (n=48) to evaluate the Virtual Learning Environment through two online valid and reliable questionnaires were given to students and faculty members. (a) A self-administered questionnaire to measure students’ perceptions of Blackboard’s VLE. (b) A self-administered questionnaire to measure faculty staff members’ satisfaction regarding VLE using the blackboard. Results: SWOT analysis was conducted and accordingly the Emergency response plan was formulated with three priorities, three goals and six objectives. Ninety-two percent of students agreed that they were engaged in the teaching sessions, and were satisfied with active learning, student-faculty contact, the assessment process, and feedback during VL sessions. While 88% of faculty staff members were satisfied with the VLE using blackboard. The key performance indicators were measured, the result of the research shows that 100% of the theory and dry laboratory sessions were conducted on time according to the planned schedule. The total number of created virtual sessions was 1043. The total number of students’ attendance in virtual classes was 43686. In addition, the number of virtual group discussion sessions conducted was 702 and the total number of materials uploaded on the Blackboard was 512. Finally, the number of virtual sessions conducted for assessment purposes was 102 sessions. Conclusion: The Emergency Response Plan including Virtual Learning Environment framework was proposed to outline the steps to be followed in the event of an emergency suspension of classes due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia. This framework delineates the various aspects considered for the successful implementation of the Virtual Learning Environment to manage the current emergency. This structured framework was the main reason for the high student and staff satisfaction percentage towards VLE.Keywords
