Abstract
The article analyzed personnel crisis problem in the modern healthcare system in Russia on the basis of the results of a focus group study. Accordingly, the formation and severity of the crisis at both regional and national healthcare system are influenced by the migration of medical personnel (from one regional center to another, other Russian regions, and overseas), disproportion in the number of doctors of some clinical specialties (such as dentists and dermatovenerologists) over the actual staffing needs of a regional health center, and shortage of middle and junior medical personnel in regional medical organizations that leads to an increase in the burden on doctors, and existing discrepancies between the requirements of the labor market in terms of work experience among young specialists and its actual absence among graduates of medical universities.
