The survey conducted by us was devoted to determining the level of readiness for future professional activity among medical students and interns studying at the Poltava State Medical University. 322 participants took part in the survey. Perceptions of clinical training experiences were assessed, focusing on six clusters of skills most needed to perform a physician’s professional duties. The obtained results demonstrated a sufficient level of preparedness of the acquirers in patient-oriented skills, advanced counseling skills, as well as in personal and professional skills. The rates of assimilation of clinical and systemic thinking skills turned out to be lower. The concept of “Patient-oriented model of providing medical care” and the principle of “Providing proper care to people of different cultural and social strata of the population” were clear to the majority of respondents (67.7% and 74.8%, respectively). 73.6% of respondents are able to recognize the social and emotional factors of the disease, study the needs of patients, and 83.6% understand the importance of relationships between primary and specialized medical care. The study showed high levels of mastery of the skills “Education of patients” and “Effective and responsive communication with patients and relatives” (91.1% and 87.8% of participants, respectively). Most of those involved in the survey highly appreciate their ability to work in a team (85.2%), consider themselves self-critical of their professional activities (91.2%), and 87.8% are ready to learn independently throughout their lives. Approximately the same data were obtained when assessing the ability to use sources of evidence-based medicine in patient care and maintaining the appropriate quality of treatment. A significant percentage of respondents were ready to promote the safety of patients and their own safety when in contact with infectious patients (81.3% and 80.8%, respectively). Time management was mastered by 233 students, and 227 respondents were able to use informatics as a tool in medical practice. The lowest indicators showed the skills of providing basic medical care to patients with emergency conditions (56.5%), readiness for the role of teacher (57.1%) and consultant (61.8%), as well as making managerial (organizational) decisions (61%). Only 2/3 of survey participants have the ability to cope with uncertainty, and 25.8% have problems with stress resistance.
