ABSTRACT

Clinical reasoning is a general competence of a physician, which is why its development is important in the first years of medical school. In this paper we present an example of a gross anatomy course where clinical reasoning has been implemented. This new model has been a challenge, to go from traditional memorization of knowledge to the application of knowledge itself, giving it a practical and more attractive aspect for the student.
