Fourth-year medical student Meghan Lark is at the intersection of art and medicine.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve loved art and drawing my whole life, but I didn\u2019t really know how I was going to integrate it into my future career as a physician,” Lark said.<\/p>\n

It was during her second year of medical school that inspiration came while taking her anatomy course.<\/p>\n

“I fell in love with anatomy and realized that it was much easier to learn if I drew it out,” she said.<\/p>\n

Lark has been sharing her drawings on Twitter and has caught the eye and appreciation of fellow students and others in the medical profession.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“We stumbled upon her beautiful anatomical drawings on Twitter recently and they are a must-see,” the tweet<\/strong> read<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lark said she started keeping anatomy journals to reference while studying, which eventually turned into drawing anatomy as a hobby.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n
