 Clinical anaplastology is an allied health profession dedicated to the art and science of restoring a malformed or absent part of the human body through artificial means. Anaplastologists specialize in ocular (globe of the eye), facial, and/or somatic prosthetics. Medical illustration is a profession devoted to visual depiction and communication of medical information. It has been said that, “medical illustrators draw what cannot be seen.” When medical illustrators specialize in clinical anaplastology we envision absent anatomy and create a prosthesis that completes the whole with convincing naturalism.
 Julie Jordan Brown is an certified clinical anaplastologist with a unique combination of artistic talents, technical skills, and medical knowledge that ideally equip her for providing aesthetic prosthetic rehabilitation. Her education is highlighted by a master's degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago in biomedical visualization (medical illustration), with clinical experience at University of Illinois Hospital and Northwestern University Hospital in Chicago. After relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1988, she established Medical Art Resources, Inc. in response to a statewide need for high quality facial and hand prosthetic rehabilitation. Julie holds a faculty appointment as clinical instructor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Otolaryngology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School.
Julie is committed to continuing education. She wants her patients to benefit from the latest advances in technology and materials. She is active in professional associations, and is a member of the Institute of Maxillofacial Prosthetists and Technologists, and is a member and past-president of the American Anaplastology Association. Julie is regularly invited
to speak on the subject of facial prosthetics at national and
international conferences.
