Abstract

Ineffective career guidance is one of the factors contributing to the existence of a significant personnel shortage in healthcare. The authors have developed a career guidance program implemented within the framework of the movement “Medical Volunteers” and aimed at forming a realistic understanding of medical practice and the process of obtaining professional education among high school students. An assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of the vocational guidance program was carried out in accordance with the criteria outlined in the methodological recommendations for the implementation of the vocational guidance minimum in general education organizations.

Keywords: career guidance; career guidance program; personnel shortage; volunteering; professional choice
