The Association of Medical Illustrators

The professional objectives of the Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) are to

* promote the study and advancement of medical illustration and allied fields of visual communication, and

The AMI is made up of ~700 talented communicators working in the realms of cutting edge medicine and science. These individuals are highly trained artists who create visual materials designed to facilitate the recording and dissemination of medical and scientific knowledge. Members are involved in the creation of illustrations, models, animations, and interactive programs, and also serve in consultant, advisory, educational and administrative roles in all aspects of scientific communications and related areas of visual education.
