The aim of this work was to highlight the relevance and necessity about gross anatomy knowledge had on family physicians and clinical-courses medical students. We also wanted to know their suggestions about the discipline Human Anatomy in Medical studies. To obtain our objective, physicians of Health Centres in Las Palmas and last-year medical students of U.L.P.G.C. were asked to fill a questionnaire. In this questionnaire the referred items were considered. The data obtained showed that both groups thought that Gross Anatomy was fundamental in the physical exploration and the image techniques interpretation. They considered that anatomical knowledge more necessary for clinical practise and clinical studies were nervous and locomotion systems. They would change the way they practical were taught in: Increased number of practical lessons, and increased clinical view. The mainly learning proposed objectives were: 1. To Know anatomic structures and relationships between them. 2. Identify anatomic structures by image techniques. 3. To be able to describe the anatomical bases of pathology.
