Adaptation of first-year students to the medical academy

Abstract

After entering university and starting their studies, a person changes the routine rhythm of their life. Their social environment changes and they become subject to new requirements in connection with the features of the educational process. Consequently, these changes affect a first-year student's personal time and their psychophysiological state. The process of preparation for professional activities involves not only the acquisition of a certain body of knowledge and skills but also the acquisition of a system of values and attitudes governing the life of society. Speed and degree of adaptation influence the success of training, psychological comfort and satisfaction with the career choice.
