They are highly skilled artists; they work strictly on the
medical field and create graphics for textbooks, journals, magazines, and even
educational films. They can draw anything from microorganisms to body parts.
Some of the medical illustrators, aid on research or creation of a prosthetic
body part. At times they are summoned to create a body part using their drawing
skills.
Salary: $35,000 - $50,000
Education:
They should take college and high school medical prep
classes that emphasize one science. Most of the illustrators have masters on
art. To become an illustrator, one must have a certificate of graduation from
the medical illustration field, a portfolio review and a successful national
examination.
Would you like to be one?
I would like to be one of this illustrators because it seems
like they do what they want as a dream job, and they get paid a decent amount. I also like the fact
that some of them can actually join with other groups to create a prosthetic
such as an arm or leg. I think it is a good job to have.
