Narrative
Medical illustrator Hillary Wilson has been part of the push to represent more diversity in medical illustration. The majority of medical illustrations use white males as a model and the majority of medical illustrators are white. The lack of diversity in medical illustration not only hinders black people’s ability to feel comfortable in a healthcare setting but also hinders the ability of patients and doctors to properly diagnose some conditions which would look different on darker skin. Illustrators like Wilson Wilson hope to normalize medical illustrations of POC and disseminate them among the larger population to increase representation in the medical field.
