Mixed reality technology and three-dimensional (3D) printing are becoming more and morecommon in the field of medicine. During the COVID-19 pandemic and immediately after the restrictions had beeneased, many innovations were implemented in the teaching of future doctors. There was also interest in immersive techniques and 3D printing technology in anatomy teaching. However, these are not common implementations. In 2023, 3D prints and holograms in mixed reality technology were prepared for classes focused on the structure of the heart. They were used to teach students, who, with the support of engineers, could learn about the detailed structure of the heart and familiarize themselves with the new technologies that support the traditional model of learning on human cadavers. Students findthis possibility to be highly valuable. The article presents the process of preparing materials for classes and further implementation possibilities. The authors see an opportunity for the development of the presented technologies in students'teaching at various levels of education and the justification for increasingly widespread implementation.
