About the Program

Established in 1948, the Medical Illustration Graduate Program at Augusta University trains artistic scientists in the techniques of visual communication for science and medicine. The 21-month program combines training in science, research and artistic techniques. Our students learn the fundamentals of storytelling for science in many medium including: illustration, animation and interactive media.

In addition to being skilled artists, medical illustrators must be knowledgeable in anatomy and the health sciences. This is because an illustrator's work, unlike a photograph, must often show what cannot be directly observed in order to best communicate an idea or complex concept. Therefore, an understanding of basic medical subjects is essential. Our students take graduate-level science courses, such as gross anatomy and cell biology, in addition to studying digital media and illustration techniques.

In addition to formal classes, seminars and lectures, our students learn by hands-on performanceand by peer-to-peer interactions. To better prepare our studentsfor arapidly evolving world of communications, our world-renowned faculty guide the students through problem-based assignments that are designed to give them not only factual knowledge but practical experience as well.

The program at Augusta University, formerly Medical College of Georgia, is the oldest graduate medical illustration program in the world and the first graduate program started at the Medical College of Georgia. Our program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. The program was the very first to be granted accreditation, in 1967, and has maintained continuous accreditation ever since.
