Having been taught anatomy by surgeons and physicians from the Medical Artists' Education Trust of Great Britain Joanna has become an accredited Registered Medical Illustration Practitioner in the UK, also leading to a professional membership of the Medical Artists' Association Great Britain.
Medical Illustrator Training by Surgeons and Physicians
The extensive medical illustration training has included intensive anatomical training with cadavars at the Royal College of Surgeons, London ensuring a high standard of anatomically correct medical art. The training each medical illustrator has to go through includes illustrating pathology, surgical procedures, design and multimedia, scientific research for illustration, gross anatomy, orthopaedics, conceptual and general illustration thus learning to combine art and science to ensure the best possible communication between a medical artist and its audience.
Joanna always continues to strive for excellence as a medical illustrator and won the Ronald Raven Bequest in 2009 at the Royal College of Surgeons, London UK. As a result Joanna benefited from one to one tuition in the USA gaining further insight into medical legal art. Joanna is using this skill in the UK to enhance patient care, by providing complicated medical information in a clear visual storyboard fashion, for those involved in legal cases.
