Creating medical art at Barrow Neurological Institute
with medical illustrator Peter M. Lawrence
Science illustration is vital in medical fields
to help medical students and staff continually learn and conceive of medical concepts. Quality medical illustrations support doctors and medical researchers with their life-saving work. Pursuing a career as a medical illustrator can be deeply challenging, collaborative and stimulating within an institution. This is particularly the case for Peter M. Lawrence who is working as a medical illustrator at the Barrow Neurological Institute. Having a background in fine art, his illustrative skills are continually cultivated here while working alongside surgeons to create accurate and educational medical art. Peter shares the unique experience with us. Above: Skullbase surgery. © Barrow Neurological Institute. All rights reserved. Used with permission from Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Arizona.
