Annotation: The article examines the prerequisites for the forming of professional legal awareness of medical workers and doctors, in particular, as legally significant entities making decisions that affect the life and health of patients. The author draws attention to the general trends in the forming of legal awareness in Russia, in particular, such trends among young people and young people in universities. The researcher critically evaluates the results of the study of the educational process in relation to schoolchildren and applicants, pointing out the dubiousness of the indicators of knowledge growth, since the level of the required material and its depth are not taken into account, the narrow focus of preparation for admission to the university only in the assigned subjects and the lack of figures reflecting the general education of applicants are not taken into account. The issue is raised that all these trends and factors, in a particular case, affect the level of legal awareness and legal culture: both in society as a whole and in professional communities, in particular. Having such a basis, the professional con- sciousness of a medical worker is undoubtedly distorted. A system of medical bioethics measures is proposed by the author to influence the doctor’s professional legal consciousness.
