Anatomy of an illustrator
In November 1925, Maria Torrance Wishart founded the Department of Medical Art Service in the Anatomy Building (now the McMurrich Building) at the University of Toronto. It was the beginning of great things. Initially intended to supply medical images and models for U of T’s medical classes and teaching hospitals, the department was later expanded by Wishart to include a three-year diploma course. Today, it offers the university’s unique Master of Science in Biomedical Communications degree at the U of T Mississauga, one of just four accredited programs of its kind in the world.
