The cultural and technological innovations of the last decade are giving modern medicine new imaging instruments and communicative tools. These are not only essential for improving the solution of simple or complex clinical problems but, if properly used, they can contribute to improving the learning of basic sciences. Knowledge of anatomy is essential for every doctor but ... the concept of its usefulness is not always clear for a 1st and 2nd year medical student. Imaging, in general, and ultrasound in particular, help to make the usefulness and relevance of anatomy "crystal clear" even for early years students. The same can be said, in some cases, also for the teaching of physiology where the use of ultrasound and imaging in general helps the student to better understand the importance of the subject by making it easier to understand important topics such as heart function or flow in blood vessels. It is a modern way of applying an ancient discipline, which thanks to its potential for integration between morphology and function, fits well into the training course of young doctors of the new millennium, the "visual generation". There are 60 places available (lessons and exercises). Another 140 places open for those interested in theoretical lessons, regardless of accreditation.
