The assessment was carried out by anonymous questionnaires, 660 people took part in the study. Respondents spoke about the high importance of industrial practice in the training of a doctor and the need to increase its volume in general, and especially in a hospital. In most cases, respondents generally preferred a larger volume of practical training, noting that practical training should take 50-74% of the entire educational program. The change in attitude to lectures draws attention. The remote format of lectures is preferred mainly by students (54% of student respondents), while the opinion of graduates of 2011-2022 divided between remote format (39%) and face-to-face in the classroom (39%). In general, the graduates of 1980-2000 rated an average of 6.88 points, graduates of 2001-2010 -5.96 points, 2011-2022 - 5.35 points. It is noteworthy that in the last group, graduates of 2011-2017 gave an average score of 5.29 points, while 2018-2022 - 5.9 points. The data obtained indicate the need for effective interaction between educational organizations, representatives of practical healthcare and students, the correct balance between the various components of educational programs and the use of new training formats are necessary to ensure the training of qualified specialists.
