Objective: To assess the level of competencies relevant to AMR prevention and One Health among Undergraduate Medical Students and examine differences across academic levels and participating countries. Methods: A multinational cross-sectional study will be conducted across seven countries (Benin, Sudan, Malawi, Botswana, Cameroon , Nigeria and Namibia), involving three universities in each country. The study will include Undergraduate Medical Students. A non-probability sampling approach will be used. Data will be collected using a structured online questionnaire that will be adapted using the Competencies for One Health field epidemiology (COHFE) framework as a reference for relevant One Health competencies and the WHO AMR competency framework as a reference for AMR-specific competencies. The instrument will undergo expert review and pilot testing before the main study. Competency levels and associated factors will be assessed using appropriate statistical methods. Expected outcomes : The study is expected to identify One Health and AMR competency levels and competency gaps across participating disciplines and countries and to identify factors associated with competency levels.

Data will be stored in password-protected systems with access restricted to authorized research team members. The original dataset will be retained separately from the cleaned analytical dataset, and data-cleaning procedures will be documented. No directly identifying information will be collected. Data will be handled according to approved ethical requirements and applicable data-protection regulations. A final review will be conducted before statistical analysis.
