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.
