Aim. To examine the role of a set of disciplines of the medical and biological profile in the formation of universal human values among students of pedagogical universities.

Methodology. In the process of achieving the goal of the study, a systemic analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, generalization, systematization and interpretation of scientific information, as well as documented examination and comparison of the results of questionnaires, testing, and observation were used. The main provisions of the study are based on the systemic, axiological and civilizational approaches.

The main basic concepts were clarified. The characteristics of the continuity of medical and biological disciplines in the formation of universal human values were given. The results of the initial and final diagnostics of the formation of universal human values in the process of studying medical and biological disciplines were presented.

Theoretical and/or practical significance. The theoretical significance of the study consists in the fact that the subject characteristic of the continuity of medical and biological disciplines has been given as a necessary condition for forming universal human values in students, which contributes to their readiness for health-oriented activities in educational organizations. The practical significance of the research lies in the use of materials to assess the formation of universal human values among students in the process of studying disciplines of a medical and biological profile.

Conclusions. The conducted study allowed us to conclude that an appropriately constructed system of continuity of medical and biological disciplines contributes to the formation of universal values in students of a pedagogical university, such as life, health, human, nature, reflecting moral, aesthetic norms and principles, the behavioral significance of man.
