The social structure of Soviet society is one of the most urgent problems from the sphere of social sciences. Intellectuals attract considerable attention: the features of their social appearance, the nature of their professional detachments, the peculiarities of their replenishment, etc. The development of the Soviet medical intelligentsia at the present stage remains one of the least studied problems. Doctors, pharmacists, paramedics, nurses, laboratory staff, sanitary services, physical education instructors, i.e., about 1200 thousand doctors of almost 200 specialties, 3159 thousand middle medical personnel, etc., should be referred to this social-professional group acting as a sub-element of the social structure.
