Ravneet Jaura, a student in the Master of Science in Biomedical Communications program at the University of Toronto held a medical illustration workshop at McMaster University on March 3, 2026 at the invitation of the McMaster Kinesiology Society.

In the workshop, Ravneet demonstrated her creative process by guiding the attendees through a step-by-step drawing exercise to show key principles such as perspective, line weight, shading and layout. The second-year student designed and created a new original drawing specifically for the activity.

Ravneet also spoke on her academic experience in the Biomedical Communications program including her courses, critiques, and extra-curriculars such as freelancing, co-directing the IMS Magazine design team and serving as a teaching assistant.

"The students had such a positive experience and so many of them discussed how much more interested they were in this field now," said Ravneet.
