Abstract

A sociological study was conducted among the 1st and 2nd year students of the general medicine and pediatric faculties of the Northern State Medical University in order to assess the quality of the curatorship institute at the medical university. The total number of respondents was 296. The average age was 18 (18; 19) years, of which 72,0% (n=213) were girls and 28,0% (n=83) were boys. Almost all students know their curator (98,0%), 54.7% noted that they meet with their curator once a month. At the pediatric faculty, curators interact more often with their groups. When questions arise, 67,6% of students have the opportunity to communicate with the curator by phone, almost half (56,4%) are in touch with the curator on social networks. The majority of respondents (69,9%) do not focus on the age and experience of the curator. Events organized by the curators: tea drinking (33,1%), conversations (52,7%), trips to the theater, cinema, bowling (25,0%), trips to recreation centers (5,4%), other events (museums, exhibitions, conferences, skating rink, trainings) – in 16,9%; 15,5% of students answered that the curators did not hold any joint events. 44,6% of students would like to attach a curator to the group for all 6 years of study. The average score for evaluating the effectiveness of the curator's work was 6,6 (4; 8) points. Among the important functions performed by the curator, the following were noted: to help resolve conflict situations in the group (78,4%), to be an intermediary between students and teachers of departments (74,0%), to help with studies (41,2%), in solving household issues (13,9%), to organize leisure (14,2%), to help solve health problems (5,4%).
