The article analyzes the role of interdisciplinary links between medical and biological physics and normal human physiology, found by comparing curricula in both disciplines, in preparing students for the licensing exam ‘‘STEP-1. General medical training’’. Test questions on normal physiology were considered in the test data base for preparation and in booklets for passing the exam, and tasks that students are taught in their first year in the process of studying medical and biological physics classes were defined. It is shown that in the test database the number of such tasks averages 8.7 % of the total number of questions on normal human physiology, while in exam booklets it averages 22 %. Such data indicate the need for broad involvement of interdisciplinary links in the study of both sciences, which will avoid duplication of educational material in the learning process, opening up prospects for more thorough mastering by students of the program of normal human physiology.
