CAREER GUIDANCE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL APPLICANTS

Abstract

Among the specialties of the humanities and natural sciences, medical education is considered the most prestigious and socially significant. At the same time, among all medical specialties, there is the highest demand for training in dental specialties, this is due to both the high level of income of graduates and the demand for specialists in the labor market. The cost of training in dental programs is high, training is long and laborious, and the stakes in the treatment of patients are high, therefore, in order to reduce the risks of professional burnout and further insolvency as a specialist, one should be more careful in the professional selection of candidates for training. In addition to the standard results of final exams after general education and the results of accreditation after a specialist degree, assessment of professional suitability and career guidance should be introduced for admission to dental universities.
