The research includes the assessment of the lifestyle factors of the major players of the educational process (students and teachers) in the modern medical school, the analysis of sources of knowledge on a healthy lifestyle and preventive measures, the awareness of a healthy lifestyle; the development and testing of new educational programs for training students and teachers, developing tactics on improving medical education to meet practical needs of the network of health care facilities and institutions of the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor). Medical and sociological studies of lifestyle factors of students showed 62.9% of respondents to have insufficient sleep duration. Lack of exercise is the second most frequent factor(51.7%). 31.1% of students noted disturbances of the dietary pattern. 20.0% of the surveyed students were cigarette smokers. 12.7% of students regularly gambled mostly with the use a computer. 2.8% of respondents admitted that they regularly used drugs and 1.7 % of respondents drank alcohol every day. The data obtained show the lifestyle of a substantial proportion of the future doctors to be failed to be considered healthy. Analysis of the sources of students’ knowledge on a healthy lifestyle shows 59.9% of them to gain knowledge in the process of becoming a doctor, 42.7% - from specialized professional literature. However, a substantial proportion of the students receive the information about the preventive health care measures from the nonprofessional sources. For the improvement of the educational process and preservation of health of major players we consider a comprehensive interdisciplinary program that includes specialized courses for the first and fifth year students, advanced training sessions for teachers and the consolidated program on preventive health care and health promotion in all disciplines of undergraduate training to be necessary.
