The study deals with the problem of developing a personality culture of medical students during their training at a higher medical school in modern conditions. The main emphasis is placed on the importance of intensifying their pre-professional activities, the need to acquire objective personal, including emotional, experience. It is proved that one of the main and most effective means in this process is social medical volunteering. In addition to the theoretical development of the question, the study presents and analyzes the results of an empirical research aimed at identifying effective ways (technologies) of forming socially significant components of a personality culture of future doctors. The respondents of the research were students of the Pacific State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia, members of the Primorsky Regional Department of the All-Russian Social Movement “Medical Volunteers”, who provide all possible participation in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
