MediVisuals is Honored With National Awards

There may be no better measuring stick for an attorney than the opinions of their peers. The same is true for medical illustrators. During the Association of Medical Illustrators’ (AMI) Annual Conference, each year a judged illustration competition is held. One of the largest and most competitive categories is the Medical-Legal category. Unlike most art competitions, the illustrations are not judged primarily on aesthetics. Instead, the most important criteria are anatomical accuracy and how effective the visuals are in communicating a stated message to the jury.

At the recent 2011 Conference in Baltimore, Mayland, the illustrations in the medical-legal category were particularly strong, resulting in the presentation of two Awards of Excellence (the highest honor) and two Awards of Merit. Illustrators with MediVisuals of Richmond, Virginia and Dallas, Texas were honored with the Award of Excellence and the Award of Merit. The award winning illustrations can be seen below. The Award of Excellence in Medical Legal Illustration is particularly significant because this Award has only been bestowed 24 times since 1987. Including this year, MediVisuals has now received 20 of the 24 awards.
