The nature of the work of doctors is inseparable from responsibility for human health and life, exposure to many risk factors related to physical, chemical, biological and psychosocial risks, as well as the specificity of the organization of the health care system in Poland. This prompted the authors to ask future doctors, currently students of the penultimate and the final year of medical studies, questions about what is important to them in their future profession and how studies at the medical universities met these needs.
Identification of skills important for future doctors to perform their profession was conducted in the third quarter of 2020 in the form of an online diagnostic survey on a sample of 442 fifth- and sixth-year medicine students at medical universities in Poland.
The study shows that most students graduating in medicine are satisfied with their choice and intend to work in the profession they have learned. In this study, the responders, on average, felt well prepared theoretically for their future profession, whereas when indicating their practical preparedness, it was much lower. One of the most important skills indicated by students participating in this study was communication with patients.
Overall, the quality of medical studies in Poland is rated very high by the students. Nevertheless, there is a lack of or insufficient time spent on teaching and helping future doctors develop soft skills; therefore, more focus should be placed on this aspect of studies.
医生的工作性质离不开对人类健康和生命的责任，他们接触到许多与物理、化学、生物和心理社会风险相关的风险因素，以及波兰卫生保健系统组织的特殊性。这促使作者向未来的医生——目前医学专业倒数第二年和最后一年的学生——提出问题，询问他们未来职业中什么对他们重要，以及医学院的学习如何满足这些需求。
2020 年第三季度，作者以波兰各所医学院的 442 名五、六年级医学生为样本，以在线诊断调查的形式，确定未来医生从事其专业所需的重要技能。
研究表明，大多数即将毕业的医学生对自己的选择感到满意，并打算从事自己所学的专业。在这项研究中，应答者平均感觉自己在理论上为未来的职业做好了充分准备，而在表明自己的实践准备情况时，准备程度要低得多。参与这项研究的学生所指出的最重要的技能之一是与患者的沟通。
总体而言，波兰的医学研究质量得到了学生们的高度评价。然而，在教授和帮助未来医生发展软技能方面，时间不足或不够充分；因此，应该更加关注这方面的学习。
