Abstract
The article focuses on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical conditions of the integration of medical, psychological, and pedagogical knowledge in the educational process. Specific conditions of the realization of this content in the professional training of special education teachers are discussed, which include the formation of a distinct scientific and socioeconomic worldview in students and the understanding of objective laws by them. These conditions provide for the integration of the academic disciplines related to the following areas: society (history, economic geography, legal relations), nature (physics, chemistry, biology), and algorithmic procedures (mathematics, information technology, cybernetics).
The article defines and characterizes the principles of integrating various components of professional training in higher educational establishments: the principles of congruity and coordination; of humanization and humanitarization; of consistency; of presenting scientifically relevant and confirmed information; of independence, creativity and professional focus; of conscious and active learning, which is related to the principle of purposeful learning and motivation. These principles are interrelated, and their simultaneous realization leads to the integration of pedagogical, psychological, and medical content in the professional training of special education teachers.

Key words: integration, conditions, principles, professional training, resource approach.
