To describe a general view of how anatomy can contribute in an important way in the development of clinical reasoning. Learning based on clinical reasoning focuses in reaching an anatomical diagnosis out of any anomaly or normality. The basic intellectual abilities consist in the identification, description, comparison, definition and classification. The superior intellectual abilities are the analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Its systematic use allows the student to construct a mental structure for problem solving. An anatomical course based on clinical reasoning has two main objectives: favour anatomical knowledge acquisition and to make the student aware of the clinical reasoning process.
