Equine anatomy with body painting: a model for the learning of topographic anatomy

Resumen

La enseñanza de la anatomía enfrenta nuevos desafíos debido a la disminución del número de horas dedicadas a esta materia en los planes de estudio vigentes a nivel mundial, y porque los estudiantes de hoy demandan nuevas metodologías y estrategias que hagan el aprendizaje más didáctico, efectivo y aplicable a las necesidades reales de los profesionales. La técnica de pintura corporal es un método que se ha utilizado durante varios años en la enseñanza de la anatomía humana y recientemente se ha comenzado a utilizar en la enseñanza de la anatomía veterinaria. Este artículo describe la elaboración de un modelo anatómico vivo de un caballo por parte de estudiantes de la asignatura de anatomía veterinaria utilizando pintura corporal, dentro de la “Exposición y Concurso de Modelos Anatómicos, evento semestral realizado en la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia). El modelo se realizó para mostrar a la comunidad académica una forma alternativa de abordar la anatomía topográfica y de superficie con un enfoque aplicado, a través de una metodología más didáctica y comprensible para el estudiante. Este artículo también muestra la anatomía superficial de varios sistemas corporales de caballos a través de la técnica de pintura corporal. Esta metodología de aprendizaje tiene gran aceptación entre los estudiantes y actualmente se utiliza dentro de las prácticas del nuevo plan de estudios de la asignatura de Anatomía Veterinaria de la Universidad de Antioquia.
