Abstract

Durante siglos, el estudio de la anatomía humana se ha basado principalmente en la disección de cadáveres. Sin embargo, en el siglo XXI, la enseñanza de la anatomía está experimentando una importante transformación impulsada por las innovaciones tecnológicas emergentes, entre las que se incluye la disección virtual. Esta innovación puede repetirse sin necesidad de utilizar múltiples cadáveres, proporciona un entorno seguro, rentable y la posibilidad de reevaluación de conceptos complejos a conveniencia del estudiante de pregrado en medicina. El valor educativo de las herramientas de disección virtual depende del modelado digital de alta fidelidad, y de los escenarios clínicos diseñados estratégicamente en la instrucción anatómica.  No obstante, se requiere mayor investigación para comprender la eficacia de la disección virtual y evaluar su impacto a largo plazo en el aprendizaje y la retención del conocimiento anatómico en estudiantes de medicina.
