Medical Illustrator

Duties and Responsibilities: A medical illustrator illustrates complex drawings of part of the human body that are used in medical textbooks, scientific journals, instructional videos, films, and exhibits. And with technology advancing, they can even draw processes in the microscopic level. Salary: $61,000 - $150,000 Education: The majority of medical illustrators have a master’s degree from an accredited two-year graduate program in medical illustration, and basic science courses (Anatomy, pathology, microanatomy etc.). Most programs require a master’s thesis project. I wouldn't want to be a medical illustrator, mainly because my drawing isn't nearly as good. i also don't like seeing the human body without skin, so staring at it for hours and drawing it doesn't really get my attention. Overall it is a good career choice for an artist who is trying to get into the medical field.
