title: Piloting the Institute of Medical Illustrators and Glasgow Caledonian University BSc in medical illustration conversion course.
abstract: Diplomates of the Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) have a route to converting their existing qualification to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Medical Illustration. The experience of a pilot group who undertook this course is described, and advice for potential students is proposed. Additional comments based on the findings and recommendations of the Scrutiny Panel, who have a role in project approval and assessment, have also been included to assist students undertaking the conversion course. Students of this pilot group found the experience of undertaking the conversion course a rewarding exercise, although the effort required to successfully pass should not be underestimated.
