A new service under the recently formed Instructional Technology Group (ITG) brings Academic Medical Illustration (AMI) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai community. Myself and Courtney McKenna bring over twenty years of experience in medical illustration to ISMMS though the merger with Continuum Health Partners.
You might be asking at this point, “Exactly what is Academic Medical Illustration?” Academic Medical Illustration is a visual teaching tool for communicating medical and scientific concepts. The audience for academic medical illustration varies: from a medical student studying anatomy, to a surgeon discovering the latest technique, to a basic scientist researching molecular structures and processes. Academic medical illustrations enhance all manner of educational materials, including textbooks, journals, websites, in-person lectures and online courses.
Seen here are a couple examples of recent illustrations. For more information on enlisting the department’s services, please contact Jill Gregory, AMI manager, at jgregory@chpnet.org .We look forward to sitting down with you and hearing about your interesting project.
