The psychological counseling represents an important process in the initial stage of student life at a medical university, especially for those from disadvantaged groups. This study presents the results obtained after the psychological counseling of 75 students of Dental Medicine Faculty from the target group of the project «The prevention of school drop-out and the counseling in the choice of career path for the 1-year students of Dental Medicine and Dental Technique » During this activity it were approached various aspects, regarding the motivation of the choice of the medical career, the identification of the adaptation difficulties in the university environment, the identification of the challenging disciplines as well as the practical ways to solve these difficulties and challenges. The results of the study showed that most students of Dentistry consider Anatomy (37%) and Biochemistry (36%) as the most difficult disciplines and consider that the participation to the remedial courses contributed to better understanding of the content of these disciplines. Among the encountered difficulties, the first place is occupied by the competitive attitude of the colleagues and high volume of the required material to learn. The students consider that the remedial possibilities are the participation during summer holiday to preparation stages. In conclusion, the activity of psychological counseling is very important for the 1- year students due to their role in the facilitation of the transition to academic environment, in the prevention of the school drop-out as well as in the modeling of the future medical career.
