Conducted a comparative analysis of value motivations of doctors and medical students revealed underdevelopment moral qualities of empathy considered undergraduate professional group on stage. According to our data, only 46,3 % of the surveyed medical students have expressed an altruistic orientation and 37,3 % of the study - the selfish orientation (p > 0,05). At the same time, similar studies on model groups of doctors have shown that the majority of physicians (69,2 % of physicians and 83,3 % of surgeons) has altruistic orientation (p < 0,05). Orientation selfishness marked by no more than 15,7 % of physicians.
