Abstract

Clinical anatomy is fundamental to medical training, providing key knowledge for safe and effective practice. This study reviews its importance, the challenges in its teaching, and its impact on patient safety. Despite educational advances, significant gaps in anatomical knowledge remain. Studies from 2019 to 2024 were analyzed, such as those by Robinson Rodríguez and Ricardo J. Losardo at the University of Buenos Aires, which highlight the relationship between anatomy and patient safety, and those by Octavio Binvignat at the University of Concepción, which promote integrating safety into anatomical training. The Manual of Organization and Functions of the Bolivian CPS was also considered, which highlights the need for clear protocols in clinical care. The objective of this study was to analyze clinical anatomy as a basis for patient safety, identifying knowledge gaps to propose educational improvements. The study adopted a mixed-method approach, combining an exhaustive bibliographic review with a quantitative observational design, based on the use of surveys administered to medical students.  The results revealed gaps in anatomical understanding and the need for more effective methodologies to strengthen medical training and ensure patient safety.
