Identifying, synthesizing and demonstrating the main active learning approaches applied to human anatomy teaching by highlighting their potentialities and weaknesses. Empirical studies were identified through systematic search in PubMed, Scielo and TRIP databases. The search terms included index terms (MeSH terms) and free text words: "active learning" and "anatomy" until June, 2020. In total, 16 active learning approaches and 6 alternative teaching strategies were identified. Active learning methodologies improve students’ attitudinal competencies, autonomy and motivation. On the other hand, they demand more strategic planning by teachers and continuous feedback from students.
