The selected works consisted of illustrations accompanied by an anatomical image and a short piece of writing—either poetic or narrative in nature. Each piece was based on a specific anatomical structure and was developed collaboratively by students from both degree programs, fostering interdisciplinary teamwork.
The main objective of the project has been to facilitate the learning of human anatomy through a creative and interdisciplinary approach, while promoting public engagement in educational initiatives related to science and art. The initiative has also served to assess how these innovative methodologies are received in real-world clinical settings.
The exhibition had previously been held at the Móstoles University Hospital, where it received very positive feedback from the medical staff. The reception at the Henares Hospital has been similarly positive, giving students the opportunity to see the impact of their work in a professional setting.
Each artwork included a QR code that visitors could scan to leave their feedback. This feedback has been essential for continuing to develop educational programs that integrate technical and creative skills into university education.
The opening ceremony was attended by students, faculty, healthcare professionals, and the general public, creating a space for dialogue where anatomy was explored from multiple perspectives.
The initiative was led by professors María José García-Miguel Piedras, from the Bachelor's Degree Medicine, and Lidón Ramos Fabra, from the Bachelor's Degree Fine Arts at Francisco de Vitoria University. The project has demonstrated that art can be an effective educational tool for exploring the complexity of the human body.
