Annotation. This article is devoted to the problem of forming socio-communicative competence in future doctors. The aim of the study was to determine the structural components of the socio-communicative competence of future doctors. Methods of generalization and systematization, correlation and comparison of scientific sources and regulatory documents are used. It is established that the structure of socio-communicative competence of future doctors includes the following components: motivation-value, emotional-volitional and perceptual. The motivation-value component of socio-communicative competence implies the presence of certain knowledge and skills that allow to consider a person and his/her health as the highest value. The emotional-volitional component includes certain volitional features: determination, self-confidence, independence, initiative, courage, concentration, self-organization, purposefulness, willpower and stability of will, as well as the ability to control one's emotions and behavior, the ability to establish positive and productive communication with the patient. The perceptual component reflects the role of perception in forming a holistic image of a person as a patient, includes the ability of a doctor to perceive and understand the state of another person, the information received and provide an adequate response. Therefore, the presence of socio-communicative competence in future doctors is a mandatory element of their professional training and the key to further successful practical activities. We see the prospect of further research in determining the state of formation of socio-communicative competence in medical students, as well as in the theoretical substantiation of organizational and pedagogical settings for the formation of socio-communicative competence of future doctors in the process of studying natural disciplines.
