Medical Illustration

Medical Visuals is your campus resource for high-quality, custom medical illustration at a fair price. Medical illustration is a highly specialized field that requires extensive training in both art and science. This dual training allows the illustrator to effectively collaborate on projects with complex medical content. Illustrators excel at distilling information, paring it down to the essentials for communicating visually to the target audience.

Types of Medical Illustrations

There are many different purposes for medical illustration. For all types of work, medical illustrators work with scientists or physicians to enhance their projects with anatomically correct and easy-to-understand supporting visuals. You could say that a medical illustration is worth a thousand words (or more)! Here are our most-requested types of medical illustrations with work examples below.

• Surgical illustration
• Patient education
• Scholarly publication
• Grant application figures
