Abstract
The article discusses the directed formation of motivation and professional orientation in students towards professions in the field of preventive medicine, such as the professions of an epidemiologist and a general hygiene doctor. The method that we have developed for the directed formation of cognitive interest in a particular profession makes it possible to create a guided vocational guidance for high school students depending on the social order. The complexity of the problem lies in the fact that the target of our study is students of specialized medical classes, who have already developed a cognitive interest and professional orientation toward the future speciality of a medical practitioner, while neither epidemiologist nor general hygienist is involved in treating patients. The specially carried out work on the directed formation of cognitive interest and professional orientation to the profession of a doctor of epidemiologist, general hygiene doctor solved the problem.

Medical education consists of several stages - pre-university, university and postgraduate education
It has been established that cognitive interest or motivation for medical work arises in the complex process of search and value-orientation activities, consisting of: a) The formation of ideas about future professional activity, expectations of its development, the availability of a resource for the realization of creative abilities in it and professional growth; b) The analysis of the type of professional activity from the position of life value orientations, spiritual requests, etc.; c) Building an objective perspective of achieving the set goal, taking into account the possibilities of realizing the person’s aspirations and needs
Creating the above-described method of formation of directed motivation and professional orientation towards the profession of a doctor, we set a very difficult task to interest the part of students in the biomedical classes of Sechenov University in preventive medicine, to organize their training according to a special program, and thereby fulfill the social order of the Moscow health care
