This work discusses the experience obtained in the extension project entitled "Training Course in Human Anatomy", provided by the Human Anatomy League (LAMAH) of the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI). The objective of this work is to expose the experience of nursing students facing the training course, highlighting the advantages and obstacles encountered. An active methodology was chosen, in which students shared their knowledge about each system with other members during meetings, in an active teaching-learning system. Thus, we infer that the methodology both provides a new experience and contributes positively to a better absorption and retention of the contents seen. However, an obstacle observed in the meetings was evidenced by the gap in the handling and mastery of natural anatomical pieces. Furthermore, the extension activity presented here constitutes an object to support the authors' knowledge of Human Anatomy.
