The Department of Art as Applied to Medicine’s Annual Surgical Illustration Critique was held on Friday, December 5th, 2008, from 2:00-5:00 PM, in the Bodian Conference Center (1830 Building, Suite 2-200). Our faculty and guests reviewed the surgical illustrations of our second year graduate students. These include procedures sketched in the JHM and Union Memorial ORs this semester and rendered traditionally or digitally in tone, color, or ink.

The Surgical Critique gives us input on the content, clarity and accuracy of the: anatomy, position and handling of instruments, surgical technique, visual solutions and message. The educational and teaching value of the images is of the highest concern, and we value input from all perspectives.
