The article is devoted to the problem of improving the quality of primary health care specialists’ training. Family doctors’ education is an extremely topical issue, determined by a public request and involves learning of the necessary competencies. Outpatient medical practice is one of the key parts of the student’s training. Only persistent practicing could become the basis for qualitative implementation of professional responsibilities. Fluent understanding and knowledge of modern innovative techniques simplifies the work of a primary care physician. The fifth-year students of medical faculty took part in survey after completing outpatient practice. The questionnaire was compiled and agreed by the teachers of our department and included 11 questions. Both the sufficiency level of the basic theoretical and practical training, communicative skills were researched together with features of the family doctor’s work. Problematic issues have been analyzed, new approaches to the outpatient practice of students have been proposed. Consolidation of the existing clinical bases logistically and technically and creation new ones based on primary medical care centers (especially in rural areas) are needed in order to ensure the effective passage through the outpatient practice by the fifth-year students. Economics of the health care establishments questions, medical law, management and marketing, and internships in private clinics of primary care have to be included to outpatient program of medical students and is a necessary step that will allow graduates to adapt to new socioeconomic requirements in the context of health care reform with a priority of primary care. In the future, we plan to examine issues related to new technologies implementation in the family doctors’ practice.
