In Nicaragua, anatomy and radiology education is in an independent format in the medical curriculum.Objective: This paper aims to explore the impact (performance and perceptions) of the use of radiological images in teaching anatomy in medical students from a resources-deprived country.Method: An extracurricular course of radiologic anatomy of the trunk was implemented to third (n=87) and sixth (n=67) year medical students. Pre-and post-test and a post-course survey were applied. Mean, median, and SD were calculated, with a confidence interval level of 95%. Results: Perceptions from both groups were similar. Regarding radiological techniques: CT (82.8% junior and 94% senior students) was the most helpful, and ultra-sound was the least (49.4% junior and 67.2% senior). Didactic resource acceptance: study guide (73.6% junior and 82.1% senior) and digital-interactive atlas (69% junior and 80.6% senior) got the highest score, while printed books (36.8% junior and 59.7% senior) got the lowest score. The pre-test scores were similar in both groups (mean of correct answer 7.98 junior and 8.22 senior). The mean of correct answers increased in both groups in the post-test: 32.03 for junior and 32.82 for senior students (p=0.000).Conclusions: Integration of radiology and anatomy positively impacts medical students; it should be implemented through a self-directed learning approach and considered complementary in the medical curriculum as a good alternative for teaching anatomy in countries where dissection is not feasible. 2022 artículo científico 2007-865X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=349772653005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3497/349772653005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3497/349772653005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3497/349772653005/349772653005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3497/349772653005/movil 10.22201/fm.20075057e.2022.41.21384 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3497 Investigación en Educación Médica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Investigación en Educación Médica (México) Num.41 Vol.11 |
