Redefining the medical artist
Redefining the medical artist is an exhibition of work by the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Biomedical Visualization program. It was held at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago from August 7th to October 16th, 2009. The works featured in this show hope not only to increase public and professional awareness of the many dimensions of this discipline, but to serve as a platform for networking, sharing research ideas and results, and creating new partnerships within the biomedical and scientific community. By seeing and understanding what the field has to offer, we wish to communicate to the viewer what it is we really do and are capable of achieving for medical progress. In other words, we wish to not only dispel the myth that medical illustrators only draw scientific images for textbooks, but to introduce the public to the scope of our abilities. In the tradition of Vesalius’ drawings, we would like to increase your understanding of the discipline of medical illustration through examples of our work.
