Introduction. The aggravation of interethnic contradictions in the world, the growth of natural disasters, as well as the strengthening of military confrontation, force the medical education system to ensure the formation of a professional worldview of future medical specialists capable of performing professional tasks at a high level. The professional language training of medical students is one of the areas of this work. The purpose of the study is to identify the opinion of medical university students about the worldview potential of professional language training. Materials and methods. The empirical base of the study includes the group surveys results of students of the Ryazan State Medical University named after academician I.P. Pavlov, in which 140 people took part, 70 of whom were the first-year students and 70 – the third-year students. The analysis of the study results was provided with the application of Statistica 12.0 and Microsoft Excel 2016. Methods of descriptive and comparative statistics were used as well. The data are presented in the form of frequencies (%), medians, lower (Q1) and upper (Q3) quartiles, average values with the calculation of standart deviation. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to identify differences between groups. The results of the study revealed that the first-year students had a relatively average level of assessment of a foreign language as a potential resource for the formation of a professional worldview. While the third-year students demonstrated a higher level of understanding of the worldview potential of language training. There were statistically significant differences between the answers of the groups of the first and third-year students in four provided questions (p < 0.001). An important aspect identified in the study is the need for regular curriculum updates, and the development of methods that contribute to the formation of a professional worldview of future physicians. The scientific novelty of the study is based on determining and analyzing the opinions and assessments of students, characterizing the medical students’ understanding of the worldview potential of professional language training. Practical significance lies in the possibility of using the obtained data to timely identify the worldview characteristics of students. Conclusion. As a direction of further research, the development of technologies for the formation of students' worldview in the process of professional language training can be proposed.
