Introduction. Solving the issues of staffing the healthcare system is a strategic task of the state policy. The analysis of the situation with the employment of medical workers indicates the need to identify factors that can influence the choice of a place of work in the healthcare system, and timely decision-making on attracting and securing young personnel in medical organizations. Aim. In order to form a personnel policy in the healthcare sector of the region, identify the main factors contributing to the employment of graduates of a medical university in healthcare institutions. Materials and methods. Sociological, mathematical, statistical and analytical methods were used. The research materials were questionnaires for graduates on employment issues. The sociological method included a survey of 691 graduate students of a medical university. The mathematical and statistical method included the calculation of extensive indicators. The analysis of the obtained results was carried out using the analytical method. Results. The analysis of the survey has established the main factors of attractiveness of the medical organization for the employment of graduates. An important factor in the graduate's employment in medical organizations is financial and social support. The most preferred working conditions for doctors in a medical organization have been identified. A significant factor in choosing a job for graduates of a medical university is the availability of a mentoring system in a medical organization. The lack of a mentoring system is becoming one of the reasons for the respondents' "unattractiveness" of the healthcare system. Discussion. An important factor in the attractiveness of the healthcare system for employment, and when choosing a specific medical organization for further work, is the implementation of medical activities accompanied by an experienced mentor. Conclusion. In order to ensure the formation of a mentoring system in a medical organization, regulatory legal acts in the field of healthcare have been approved, which require implementation at the level of each medical organization involved in the implementation of the program of state guarantees of free medical care to citizens.
