It was during her second year of medical school that inspiration came while taking her anatomy course.
“I fell in love with anatomy and realized that it was much easier to learn if I drew it out,” she said.
Lark has been sharing her drawings on Twitter and has caught the eye and appreciation of fellow students and others in the medical profession.
Her artwork recently was featured on Twitter as part of #AnatomyMonday by the American Association of Clinical Anatomists, which promotes clinical anatomy knowledge and services in education, research and scholarship.
“We stumbled upon her beautiful anatomical drawings on Twitter recently and they are a must-see,” the tweet read.
Lark said she started keeping anatomy journals to reference while studying, which eventually turned into drawing anatomy as a hobby.
“In the future, I plan to become a surgeon and continue to develop drawings to help educate medical students and explain surgical procedures to my patients,” she said.
Drawings by fourth-year medical student Meghan Lark are receiving widespread attention.
