Use medical symbols as a way to show how proud you are of your profession. Which symbols represent the medical field? There are so many it’s hard to know where to start. We’re probably all familiar with the solid cross that represents an ambulance, or the person in a wheelchair that indicates something to do with handicap issues, or the drop of blood with a cross inside that represents a blood bank. And there are many others. There’s the microscope (laboratory), the Caduceus (symbol of the medical profession), triplets (nursery), the mother and small child (Pediatrics) and many more.
There’s also an assortment of fun medical symbols that are limited only to your imagination. They’re familiar symbols like a stethoscope, a couple of pills, a Taylor reflex hammer, needles, syringes, and an EKG heart. Embroider these medical symbols right onto your shirts, hats, hospital scrubs, tote bags, even your pet clothing! Or use clip art images to create personalized stationery, invitations, announcements, and anything you need.
When you’re looking for that perfect gift for someone who’s devoted their life to the medical profession, how about a personalized bronze plaque engraved with their name and the medical symbols that represent milestones in career?
Medical symbols aren’t just for helping people navigate vast hospitals. They can be used as screen savers for your monitor, in place of monograms on your clothing, in artwork, on watches and other jewelry, on water bottles, on your lab coats and your footwear. Not many professions have more symbols than the medical profession. If you’re a connoisseur of medical symbols, be sure you check out our Medical Symbols Resources guide.
