%X This article is empirical and addresses an important issue regarding crisis intervention in the context of the professional work of a doctor in various hospital wards. The aim of the diagnostic project was to find out the opinions of medical students in Poland on the above subject. The presented article is a report on the results of research in a group of 31 female and 19 male students. The conducted empirical analysis made it possible to diagnose issues related to the occurrence of crises in patients and the doctor, and more specifically: knowledge of terminology – crisis intervention, usefulness of intervention techniques in the doctor’s work, personal difficulties of students in contact with the patient in various personal crises (domestic violence, rape, diagnosis of cancer or HIV infection, loss of a child, suicide of a person close to the patient, addictions), fears related to falling into a specific crisis by future doctors (professional burnout, workaholism, depression, family crisis, professional stress and potential drugs), the usefulness of optional classes on crisis intervention at Polish universities and activities to assist students in solving their crises.
