Michael Havranek - Medical Illustrator

2/21/2017

Mr. Havranek must have been like many of you when was in high school....he entered college as a sophomore after earning many college credits in high school. This enabled him to design his own curriculum, which included art and science. He had many minors as well - a very inquisitive mind and a person who was willing to find a career that was "perfect" for him. He explained that his field is grueling in many ways - tough deadlines and sensitive information and imagery all day long. He seems to love it and after years at the medical illustration practice that lured him from Chicago to RVA, he went in with a partner to open a new practice. His studio is just a few blocks away from us @ Grace and Lombardy! He is open to answering additional questions that you might have. If you want to get in touch with him, please let Mrs. Mosley know.

Whether you attended the lecture or not, the following links should be helpful in learning all about the field of medical illustration:
