Introduction:

mastery, by teachers, of drawing in the teaching-learning process of Histology, in the discipline Biological Bases of Medicine, constitutes a priority, and some authors consider that it requires more pedagogical attention, for which teacher training is necessary.

Objective:

assess the use of drawing microscopic images in the teaching of biomedical sciences.

Materials and methods:

theoretical and empirical methods were applied, and theoretical and methodological assumptions were established through the triangulation of the data collected.

Results:

there is consensus on the importance of the use of drawing as an aid for teaching knowledge of histology in the discipline Biological Bases of Medicine, and it is reaffirmed that its use by professors is deficient. The use of histological drawing as a teaching aid should be more present in teacher training.

Conclusions:

the use of drawing microscopic images as a teaching aid for basic biomedical sciences is an essential part of teacher training, so it must have priority attention in the teaching-learning process and the particular didactics of this discipline. Due to its importance for the understanding of students, its use should be promoted and consolidated from the theoretical-methodological point of view in the normative documents and in the methodological work.
