Purpose: The article discusses the specificity of coordinated and personalized medicine and the resulting demand for individual competences of medical graduates. Identification of the assumed knowledge, skills and professional attitudes of medical graduates is the main research goal. Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative research was conducted by analyzing existing data (desk research): the standards of medical education set by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the planned learning outcomes at five leading medical universities in Poland were analyzed. Findings: The analyzes carried out allowed us to determine the necessary competences are identified by health care specialists to perform medical professions. Education standards place little emphasis on the development of soft and organizational skills, which are necessary in the context of the development of coordinated and personalized medicine. Some universities independently expand learning outcomes with new technologies, protection of sensitive data, or analysis of large databases. The summary presents several key conclusions. Research limitations/implications: The results of the presented research were based on document analysis, which does not allow for generalizations in the conclusions. It would be important to conduct quantitative research among students and lecturers regarding the effects achieved during professional practice classes. Practical implications: The results of the analyzes lead to the conclusion that universities recognize the need to update the educational outcomes obtained during medical studies in terms of contemporary challenges, including aspects developing coordinated and personalized medicine. Conclusions may constitute recommendations regarding updating legal regulations of the Ministry of Higher Education. Social implications: Implementing changes to medical curricula would better prepare graduates for the challenges of modern medicine and the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients. Originality/value: The analyses carried out allowed the identification of the competences necessary for health care professionals to practice. The role of soft competencies in the delivery of health care services was indicated. In conclusion, some key conclusions were presented from the point of view of the assumptions of personalized medicine.
