2007 Distinguished Alumnus Award Recipient
Dr. Emily A. Craig
Dr.
Craig, a forensic anthropologist, is a 1976 graduate of the School of
Allied Health Science Department of Medical Illustration. For the past
13 years, she has headed Kentucky’s Division of Medical Examiners as
state forensic anthropologist. She is the author of Teasing Secrets
from the Dead, which highlights her career path from medical
illustration to forensic anthropology.
After graduating from MCG, Dr. Craig spent 15 years at the Hughston Orthopedic Sports Medicine Clinic in Columbus, Ga., where she established the clinic’s first medical illustration unit and hired more than a half-dozen MCG medical illustration alumni. She has received awards from the Student American Medical Association, the Southern Medical Association and the Association of Medical Illustrators.
In 1991, she returned to school to pursue a doctorate in
forensic physical anthropology at the University of Tennessee and its
historic Body Farm. She has been profiled on America’s Most Wanted,
Unsolved Mysteries and 48 Hours and has worked at
notorious crime scenes, including the site of the former World Trade
Center and the Branch Davidian massacre in Waco, Texas.
