Abstract
Professional orientation is becoming particularly important in the context of a shortage of personnel and competition for specialists, which is especially acute in the healthcare sector. However, the mechanisms used often lag behind the requirements of the branch, which requires the development of a scientifically based model. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the application of a stakeholder model for managing continuous career guidance in a medical cluster in the context of an optant’s career development for himself. Achieving the goal is ensured by a synthesis of constructivist and stakeholder approaches: the first defines the understanding of self-determination as a continuous reflexive careerbuilding process, the second allows you to identify key actors (optants, families, employers, educational institutions, authorities, medical communities) and build their interaction. Majority of experts confirm the validity of the selecting of these stakeholders and support the securing of the role of coordinator of their interaction for the profile medical university.
