Since 1945 The Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) has been promoting the power of visual media to advance the life sciences, medicine, and healthcare. Comprised of members across four continents, the AMI unites highly trained and (broadly) interdisciplinary professionals to foster best practices in visual knowledge translation. AMI members continuously hone their skills to be leading visual interpreters – between the expert and novice, the scholar and student, and the physician and patient.

The AMI communicates with its membership and the public via six dynamic channels: •Arobustwebsite(www.ami.org) •Thepeer-reviewedJournalofBiomedicalCommunications •AnactiveOnlineMemberCommunity •Aquarterly-publishedAMINewsletter •AnAMIWeeklyeNewsblast •Andafour-dayconferenceheldinamajorNorthAmericancityeachyear

The annual conference – our signature event – attracts a large contingent of the Association’s 850+ members, who converge for four days of plenary and concurrent educationalsessions,workshops,techniqueandtechnologydemonstrations,andnetworking opportunities. A highlight is the ongoing Media Exhibition, which showcases AMI members’ exemplary work in illustration, animation, interactive and online media, publishing, medical models, design and other visual communications.

The2013conferencewillbethemedFUSION:ConnectingMinds+VisualizingScience & Medicine, and will be hosted in Salt Lake City – an international center for excellence and innovation in science, medicine, communication, and technology.

Fusion: when two or more distinct entities combine to form a new whole. This biochemical phenomenon reflects our blend of art & technology with science & medicine. It’s also a fitting term to describe our philosophy of connecting minds and synthesizing new partnerships, and is the theme for the AMI’s 2013 conference in Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City, an internation¬al center for excellence and innovation, has a rich history of melding of science, medicine, communication, and technology. Edwin Catmull, a pioneer of computer animation, received his training at the University of Utah. His work, a fusion of science and art, played a key role in making modern scientific visualization what it is today.

Visual communication has been instrumental in many SLC-based endeavors: the Nobel Prize-winning medical research of Mario Capecchi; the first successful implantation of the groundbreaking Jarvik-7 artifi¬cial heart into a human recipient; the creation of breakthrough virtual 3D medical model development by the Zygote Media Group; and innovative health care information solutions by Amirsys, led by renowned neuroradiologist Dr. Ric Harnsberger.

Branded the “Silicon Slopes,” Salt Lake City and the surrounding area is home to over 150 biotech firms and a diverse array of other technology-focused businesses. The University of Utah boasts a prestigious school of medicine that is internationally recognized for its basic science and biomedical research. Recently, the U of U surpassed MIT to become America’s No. 1 research institution, in terms of technology startups.

Today, the need for informed, focused visual communication to facili¬tate knowledge translation is greater than ever. The AMI is proud to host our conference in a city with a strong record of technological advancements.

And we cast new light on evidence through our work in forensicreconstructionandvisualizationsforthecourtroom.

FUSION – the combination of two or more distinct entities into a new whole – describes our process as we connect minds to communicate science and medicine. This process, and the theme of our 2013 conference, brings new understanding – from the laboratory to the doctor’s office, and from local to global communities toimprovehealthandhealthcare.Ourmembersareconnectedtoinnovationsinbiomedical science and are essential communication links to a world increasingly influencedanddependentonvisualmedia..Weleadineducationalfrontierssuchas digital publishing, educational gaming, and simulation training.
