Human anatomy is one of the fundamental disciplines in medical education and forms the basis for understanding clinical sciences. However, teaching anatomy effectively requires modern approaches that promote active learning and deeper comprehension of complex anatomical structures. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of innovative pedagogical technologies in improving the teaching and learning process of anatomy in medical higher education institutions. The use of interactive teaching methods, digital technologies, multimedia resources, and three-dimensional anatomical models enhances students’ understanding and retention of anatomical knowledge. The findings demonstrate that integrating innovative pedagogical technologies significantly improves students’ engagement, learning outcomes, and professional competence.
