Highlights
We have witnessed in several countries a decrease in the number of “anatomical vocations” for several reasons, but mostly because of clinical disciplines that are more attractive
It is necessary to make successive updates to the pre-graduate curriculum, the latter which are required to contemplate additions of modern subjects, while fundamental disciplines such as Anatomy have seen their hours reduced in some schools in a worrying way
Students are faced with the difficult reality of being forced to learn in a minimum period of time the most basic essential information to the understanding of other subjects and good medical practice
