The understanding of Human Anatomy is the ground to corrects interpretations at the professional practice. Different methods to the improvement of teaching-learning have being introduced, which them, the digital instrument is attractive to academics, and little by little has being implanted. Objective: To obtain the perception of the academics about the incorporation of a photographic digital atlas portraying the pieces of the Anatomic lab of our Campus with the intention to improve the practical study of the students. Methods: Parts of the osteoarticular system were photographed, edited, pointed the anatomical structures visible and organized by region. It was available to the 25 medical students at first semester (2015-2). A questionnaire has applied to evaluate the use of this method by academics. Results: 21 students alleged that they used the photographic digital atlas, of which 68% believed that it contributed a lot to the understanding. Regarding the advantages of the tool, 17 academics highlighted the exhibition of real pieces, 9 said they helped in the comprehension, while 4 indicated that they had been directed to the practical test. About the negative aspects, 6 academics observed the presence of only the osteoarticular system and 2 criticized the lack of anatomical structures visible in the cadaverous parts. As a suggestion for improvement, 7 students proposed the insertion of the other systems. Conclusions: The atlas helped academics positively in their practical studies by stimulating familiarity with the pieces and increasing understanding. The tool pointed out in this work can be reproduced by other Institutions and can be developed and expanded to use online resources, among others, in order to facilitate the teaching-learning process.
