"Medical Illustrators Merge Art and Medicine at CHOP Studio"

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia employs an in-house team of medical illustrators who create anatomical learning aids for students, doctors, and patients. Medical illustrators study anatomy, physiology, and other biomedical subjects in addition to taking courses on drawing, graphics, and design. They assist with cadaver dissections, learn how to translate very detailed scientific research, and sit in on medical procedures to create illustrations with accuracy and specificity. The studio’s illustrations are used in scientific journals, manuscripts, for hospital websites, and pamphlets. They’re also used to help patients and their families understand what’s happening.
