Modern requirements to the preparation of medical personnel put forward the need to improve the methods of career guidance and close interaction of universities with the population, authorities and health management. The purpose of career guidance at medical university is the formation of good-quality contingent of students for the preparation of qualified medical personnel taking account of the needs of the regions.
