Science art careers

I'm a 3rd year biomedical sciences student and I dotn have much of a plan for my career ahead. I enjoy lab work, especially microscopy and other than this I do a lot of art and creative stuff. Are there any career paths I can pursue that bring these fields together?

Generally there isn't really a type of job that jointly uses biomed and art/creative in equal parts. It's more like 95:5 share of either one subject or the other.

If you specifically want something that combines both fields, you can consider medical illustrator, but it's more creative than biological:

Personal recommendation: do your art and creative stuff outside of your main job, should you wish to go into healthcare or biological research.
