Ageism patterns in generation Z cohort in the context of soft skill development as exemplified by medical students

Abstract

The article discusses the question of identifying ageism patterns among medical students, where it is contrasted with soft skills, especially in jobs involving human-human collaborations. Modern medical students are representatives of the generation Z. This generation will determine the trends in the development of society and healthcare, in particular, for the coming decades. Understanding these trends will make it possible to specifically manage soft skills, make adjustments to medical curricula, enhancing their competitive ability to face the global labor market.
