Higher Education Institutions are every day looking for new technologies, aiming at more dynamic classes. Due to this increased demand for new technologies. Objective: was to evaluate the negative and positive points of using digital simulator complementing the traditional methodology in anatomy modules. Methodology: A total of 120 students (second period 60 students and third period 60 students) of the University of Brazil campus Fernandópolis Medical School were considered in order to verify the degree of student satisfaction with the use of digital simulators in the study of human anatomy. Results: In the results obtained with the 120 surveyed, we have: 95% of students think the use of simulators in class is valid, in addition, 88% of students said that there was an improvement in teaching. However, 75% disagree that the use of simulators may replace traditional teaching methods. Based on this, it is clear that the students questioned have adapted positively. However, the replacement of traditional methods by new technologies was not unanimous. Conclusion: Therefore, based on the data collected, it can be considered that the digital platform adds to the new active methodology as a pedagogical learning tool.
