The
majority of medical illustrators in the profession have a master's degree from
an accredited two-year graduate program in medical illustration. There are
currently four programs in the United States and one in Canada that are
accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education
Programs (CAAHEP). Each program accepts 16 or fewer students each year, so
entrance into the schools is very competitive.
Course work varies somewhat from program to program, but all include an advanced course in human anatomy with dissection and may include a combination of other biomedical science courses such as pathology, microanatomy, physiology, embryology, and neuroanatomical, along with specialized applied art courses such as surgical illustration. Other classes may include color theory, instructional design, photography, interactive media development, 3-D modeling and web design, along with traditional drawing and computer applications.
Most programs require master's thesis or research projects and may have optional courses available in specialty fields such as advanced computer and video graphics, endoscopic illustration, or patient prosthetics.
