Drawing and painting are a universal language. Visual art and medical education/practice are interdependent and indivisible partners. It creates and promotes a healthy and sound environment in harmony with nature. It enhances a fast and good understanding of medical education through the production of a medical atlas. It is an instrument that enhances the presentation of the human body, internal organs of the body, anatomical structure, physiology, and histology of the human body, and circulatory system, among others, to the learner and the practitioner without actually getting in contact with the physical body and organs. Visual art makes telemedicine and telemedical consultation feasible. A virtual artist, through his drawing and painting, is a medical lexicographer contributing to lexicography, creating a medical atlas, and molding organs and tissues for teaching and practice. Virtual art and medical education/practice are necessary and needful partners. It provides a means of giving information on medical programs and services. Pain, stress, and associated health problems can be treated through the instrumentality of virtual arts. Virtual arts are, therefore, an instrument of healthcare delivery.
