ABSTRACT
Genetic diseases have been present throughout human evolution and have been recorded in important artistic works. It is significant the transmission of this knowledge during Medical Genetics classes to increase the cultural heritage of our students. Knowing how difficult it is to understand these issues and the difficulty of not having basic literature that collects these contents, the following problem arises: How to contribute to the scientific preparation of students on the knowledge of genetic diseases, their history and the link with works of art? To solve it, it is proposed to design a complementary notebook that contains the relationship between certain genetic diseases, their history and the reflection of these in famous paintings, for the scientific-humanistic preparation of the students. For the preparation of the work they were considered: the organization- Planning and design of the notebook. Each author made his individual proposal and after the collective analysis and the criteria of experts his final structure was conformed. The notebook consists of the genetic and clinical descriptions of four genetic diseases, the natural history of each and the strategies to prevent them; as well as his representations in paintings of great artistic value. According to the authors, this is a material that favors the motivation and interest of the students for the study of the discipline and for research on this subject, which contributes to their development as a future health professional.REFERENCES
