[The analysis of readiness of young specialists to self-dependent work in primary health care section].

At the present time, about 20% of graduates of medical universities after initial accreditation are employed as district physicians. The purpose of the study was to investigate readiness of graduates of medical university to work as district physicians after primary accreditation. The analysis was based on results of sociological survey of immediate supervisors of graduates. The interviewed heads of departments assess as relatively low level of practical training of graduates (3.8 points out of 5) and their readiness to independent work as district physicians (41.2%). The scarcity of implementation of the most effective measures for professional adaptation of novice district physicians, including paid mentoring (5.0%) and internship (1.7%) is established too. According to survey results, for training of district physicians, the most appropriate is to revive such previous forms of training in national system of higher medical education as internship (21.2%) and subordination (50.6%).
