Art is very useful in Medicine. There have been great illustrators in the Medical Sciences. Netter and Vesalius and Leonardo da Vinci come to mind. The eye of an artist is a real credit to a physician. One must be able to see and visualize a lot of what one will be doing to a patient. Plastic Surgery, is a field where Art is very useful. The ability to see in 3D and to project what something would eventually look like after surgery would be an asset. I think that you might find that medicine would be very rewarding. Also, Art is a talent that can be indulged in when you have some free time just for yourself.

Medical arts - they create medical illustrations, animations. They need very comprehensive knowledge of medicine.

there's art therapy
generally combined with psycho-analysis, psychotherpay..
used esp. in childhood trauma cases, and to unlock subconscious patterns.
I would imagine too, that drawing might have an appropriate place in pediatrics in general.
