They also build models of body parts to use in a lecture and many other things. I didn’t know that they also help to create artificial parts such as ears and eyes for patients that need them.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to become one? Why? Why not?

 I think that I would like to become one because students and all types of doctors will get to see your work. Another thing is that you get to inform others about the body, well the ones they can’t see. It would also be fun to become one because your drawing and art is always fun.
