Medical Illustrator
Duties and responsibilities:
Medical illustrators produce resources such as photography
and graphic images for professionals involved in patient care, teaching,
education and research. Medical illustrators are categorized as healthcare
scientists and are employed primarily by hospitals, medical schools, research
establishments, and specialist publishers.
Salary: $62,000
Education: They must have a master’s degree from an accredited 2
year graduate program in Medical Illustration. Each program accepts 16 or fewer
students each year, so entrance is very competitive. Most programs require a
master’s thesis or research projects and may have optional courses available in
specialty fields such as advanced computer and video graphics, or patient
prosthetic.
Reflection: I would like to be one because they take photographs
or films of patients concentrating on just one part of the body that has been
affected by illness or injury and processing the images or film.
