Social description, social capital and professional strategies of a Russian medical student (results of empirical research)

The article analyzes the social and individual characteristics of medical students from different regions of Russia, which have the greatest impact on their professional socialization. The motives of the choice of the profession of students of medical schools are considered, which as the main indicate: prestige, the social status of the medical profession in society; Interest in work; Desire to help people; family traditions. The choice of the learner depends on his empirical experience. If, before entering the university, young people choose a medical specialty for their studies according to their own ideas about the profession, then in the process of studying at the university, serious changes occur in the university towards a more rational interpretation of the profession. At the heart of the professional motives of medical students are such markers as prestige, the social status of the doctor (medical worker) in society; Creative and interesting work; Desire to help people; Family traditions (dynasty) of the profession of a doctor. The example of professional activity of parents - medical workers, has a significant impact on the choice of specialty for teaching and vocational guidance among students studying in medical specialties in medical educational organizations. In conclusion, the author concludes that young people choose to study medical specialty in terms of romantic ideas ("creative and interesting work", "childhood dream"). However, in the process of training in a medical educational organization, as you grow up, a reassessment of values takes place. Young specialists expect the future work place to present an interesting activity in the field of high-tech medicine, the opportunity to gain experience and professionalism, a high level of income and the status of the profession. As far as pro-fessionalisation, the hope for the opportunity to get all graduates into modern, equipped organizations goes. Some students of medical schools and colleges come to the realization that the level of income will not satisfy the needs, correspond to the complexity and responsibility of the work. Therefore, in the current conditions of shortage of personnel in healthcare, it is extremely important to support the professional orientation of students and young professionals, taking into account their individual needs and expectations from work.
