Drawing on global evidence and employing a systems model approach, this framework aims to analyze and enhance the resilience of the higher health education system against potential hybrid warfare, with an emphasis on the role of macro-regional medical science planning areas. Consequently, based on the formulated strategies, policy solutions and recommendations were proposed at the level of macro planning regions and across short-, medium-, and long-term timescales. These proposals target four key subsystems: human resources; technology and infrastructure; management and organization; and the external environment impacting educational processes. Design and activation of a comprehensive program for empowering human resource resilience and robustness, implementation of a psychosocial rehabilitation program for human resources, design and implementation of a comprehensive passive defense program for educational infrastructure, establishing and deploying an emergency educational and clinical service continuity system, designing&amp;nbsp; and activating an education command unit, and establishing and designing a network of the strategic partners were the most important policy implications derived from this study&amp;rsquo;s results. This comprehensive set of programs is designed to serve as a robust framework for strengthening the resilience and robustness of medical science education under hybrid warfare conditions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</abstract>
