The expediency of training future specialists in the medical field on the basis of interdisciplinary integration is substantiated. From practical experience it is proved that in order to ensure the quality of higher education, the teacher must use methods of interactive, cooperative, problem-based learning, techniques and techniques of communicative interaction, based on developing a position of interest and motivation with focus on resources and interests of medical students. It was found that the main task of training future medical professionals on the basis of interdisciplinary integration in higher education institutions is the formation of their professional identity, critical thinking personality. It is established that this will allow future medical professionals to be a person with a high level of tolerance, with an objective level of response to events and phenomena that take place in their professional activities with respect for the rights of other participants in medical relationships. It is proved that the application in the course of practical training in the training of future medical professionals on the basis of interdisciplinary integration of interactive technologies, in particular the method of "brainstorming" will ensure the formation of critical thinking skills in medical students; development of new ideas and decisions in the course of joint discussion, generation of own estimations, views; ability to use such mental operations as analysis, synthesis, evaluation in the course of their professional activity. It has been established that such interactive technology as "brainstorming" is an effective method of conducting practical classes in medical institutions of higher education in the course of teaching disciplines on the basis of interdisciplinary integration. Practical experience in the application of this method gives grounds for distinguishing its positive and negative features. Its positive characteristics include: the concentration of medical students on the topic of practical training, stimulating the development of their own thoughts, emotional shock, as well as the ephemerality of the method. The negative aspects of using this method include the need to involve additional interactive techniques, taking into account the individual characteristics of each student (shyness, insecurity, introversion). At the same time, the use of the proposed interactive technologies in the training of future medical professionals on the basis of interdisciplinary integration provides teachers with opportunities to intensify the learning process, focus on selected issues, properly assess the quality and level of participants and others.
