The study aimed to assess the impact of key parameters of the organizational and clinical environment on the formation of the primary professional identity and emotional well-being of a young doctor in order to identify priority areas for changing organizational support. It is concluded that the successful professional development of a medical university graduate, which involves the integration of value-motivational, operational-role, and socio-communicative components, is a critical condition for ensuring the quality of medical care, the emotional well-being of young doctors, and the staff sustainability of the healthcare system as a whole. It is substantiated that overcoming the adaptation crisis requires shifting the focus from the individual competencies of the young specialist to the organizational conditions of his or her work. An important direction for modernizing the human resource policy of healthcare institutions should be the purposeful design of a professionally enriching environment, which includes: reducing bureaucratic dissonance; transforming organizational culture towards a supportive, collegial model; institutionalizing “safe” spaces for professional reflection; rethinking the role of mentoring as an element of the organizational system; and shifting the focus of managerial key performance indicators from formal metrics to indicators of sustainable professional development.
