Description
This report analyzes the results of higher education, which are reflected in the knowledge, skills, social skills and values of university graduates, looking at the extent to which they meet the requirements of professional self-realization of the future doctor.
The description of the professional communication process gives an idea of the situations that a medical student will come in contact with in practice in the hospital, as well as in his/her further activities, therefore the content and procedural aspect of the study course program is important in terms of preparation of future doctors for their professional communication situations using LSP. Communication (mainly oral) takes place and develops in the process of the doctor's activity aimed at treating patients, and it coincides with the doctor's professional duties.
The data obtained in the empirical study show that the communicative barrier is determined by insufficiently developed subject-specific communicative skills in LSP language, motivation, inadequate stereotypes, specifics of communication culture, inability to set goals and achieve desired results, level of motivation, inadequate self-assessment of the acquired language skills.
Data acquisition methods: interviews, surveys, biography method, testing, document research and analysis of students' work; methods of mathematical statistics used in data processing and analysis, content analysis.
The research reveals that the information received and provided in the process of professional communication, acquired skills and abilities, ensure the realization of various functions. The communicative and intercultural competence of the language that forms the language competence becomes important in the professional self-realization of the student, the future doctor.
