Case studies

Graduates entering medical illustration departments start by gaining some experience on the job and then taking further qualifications. Recent changes to the profession mean that entry routes and qualifications vary, so it is important to check with the relevant professional body about training and study options.

There are two distance learning courses aimed at people already working as medical illustrators:

The Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI)  offers a programme of continuing professional development (CPD) which reflects the requirements of the Health Professions Council (HPC) . As well as CPD, maintaining a personal professional portfolio, making contacts and keeping up to date through professional bodies such as the IMI and the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP)  will benefit career development.
