Can you be an artist and a doctor?

I'm Ms. Hill at the International Community School. My 4th graders have a few questions and I'd like to share your advice with them. Thanks in advance!

Carrie’s Answer

Absolutely!! In fact, one of my favorite instagram-ers is both a doctor and an artist. His name is Mike Natter. He does amazing illustrations of the body and during COVID, he has used his art to share how difficult it is being a doctor in the ER in NYC.

Many doctors have hobbies outside of medicine. They are normal people just like you.

Greetings, Ms. Hill! My daughter attended ICS for kindergarten!

In addition to what others have mentioned, there are fields called "medical humanities" and "medical illustration" which combine aspects of art and medicine.

Hi Ms.Hill! I definitely think so! There's also art therapy that can be combined with medicine as well to help patients. In medical school drawing is important, especially the anatomy and having a skill for art will help tremendously! What a terrific duo!
