Abstract
In recent years, the number of foreign students enrolled in medical universities of Uzbekistan has significantly increased. This article aims to explore the psychological features of motivation and adaptation among foreign students studying in these institutions. The focus is on understanding the factors that influence their motivation to study medicine in Uzbekistan, as well as the challenges they face during their adaptation process. These challenges include language barriers, cultural differences, and academic pressures. Through analyzing existing research and empirical data, this paper highlights the importance of psychological support and institutional strategies in aiding foreign students' integration into the academic and social environment.
