A - Management Session
Charles
Farmer
During
the early 1970's, the Director of the National Medical Audiovisual Center
(NMAC), then an arm of the National Library of Medicine, brought directors
of developing biocommunications units from across the continent
to Atlanta, Georgia for a series of forums. These meetings defined
a common purpose and set the agenda for the future of biomedical
communications in America as we know it today. They also led
directly to the creation of the Association of Biomedical Communications
Directors (ABCD).
The
NMAC leader with this vision was Charles Farmer. Charlie will again be
addressing the profession, including some who attended those nascent
gatherings, as he kicks off the Sunday afternoon management session.
This is a must see for anyone in biocommunications management,
those aspiring to it, or anyone interested in the history
and future of our profession.
Mr.
Farmer’s presentation will be followed by a panel discussion featuring
comments from past and present biocommunications associations presidents
who will discuss past, present and future issues of importance to our
profession.

B - Alternatives in Biomedical Photography
Gale
Spring, Moderator
Perceptions
and Misconceptions of Photographic Evidence
Gale
Spring
"Seeing
is believing" may be an acceptable way of dealing with
photographs on a casual basis. When photographs are required to
give a fair and accurate account of a scene or situation, a deeper
analysis must be undertaken to determine how, why, when, where and
by whom the photograph was created. Problems are often encountered
in the interpretation of the image. Technically speaking all
photographs "lie"; sometimes by accident and sometimes
by deliberate misrepresentation. Using a variety of case studies,
this presentation covers areas of difficulty in extracting facts
from photographs and what photographs can and cannot reveal.
Mr.
Gale E. Spring is an Associate Professor of Scientific Photography
at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
He came to RMIT University in 1988 after 13 years as the
Director of Photographic Services for the Department of Pathology
at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Dallas, Texas.
From his background in forensic and technical imaging, Gale finds
himself involved at all levels of law enforcement, lecturing,
consulting and acting as an expert witness in cases involving the
interpretation of photographs used in evidence.
Gale is the Program Leader of the Southern Hemisphere’s
only applied science degree program in scientific photography. The
program awards degrees from Bachelor of Applied Science (B.App.Sc)
to PhD’s. The
program embraces the internationalization of education and has
many professional links throughout the world.
He
is a Fellow of the BCA, a Fellow of the Institute of Photographic
Technology, Inc., and a Registered Biological Illustrator (RBI)
and Associate of the Australian Institute of Medical and
Biological Illustration. He is very active in educational issues
and a supporter of technical expertise in photographic arts and
sciences.

Indexed
Visuals - Not your "Traditional" Stock House
by
William Westwood
Indexed
Visuals is a one-of a-kind online database that currently
represents the largest collection of stock medical illustrations
in the world. We at
IV want it to also become the largest collection of medical
photography in the world. But
why should medical photographers join Indexed Visuals and what
could this new company have that photographers aren’t already
getting from traditional stock houses?
Believe us, there’s plenty!
Attend this exciting presentation and find out why medical
photographers and
Biocommunications
departmental managers could be missing out on important
opportunities for the creation of significant new income streams
from their and their department’s medical image collections.
Learn how IV has come up with a corporate plan for your
images that benefits you first and foremost and not some stock
house bottom line through “high volume, low pricing” marketing
strategies. There is a better way. Whether
you have a small number of images sitting in a drawer gathering
dust or a large collection that’s not working hard for you,
don’t miss this presentation.
We guarantee to provide thought-provoking information.
William
B. Westwood is a graduate of the Medical Illustration Program at
the Medical College of Georgia and worked on the staff of the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, MN for 10 years before starting his own
business in 1982. Westwood
is Board Certified and has been active in the Association of
Medical Illustrators since 1972. He was twice elected to the Board
of Governors, is a Fellow in the Association and served in 1988 as
President. Bill is a well-known speaker among medical illustrators
on the issues of artist's rights/copyright, marketing and pricing.
He created the Medical Illustration Source Book and guided
its growth as Editor from 1982 through 2000.

How
education and certification can keep us in our medical and
clinical photography job: A view on the situation from Denmark
Thomas
Carlslund
In
Denmark departments are being closed, and people fired. Doctors
and nurses are doing our work.
We have an education for photography here in Denmark mostly
pointed at commercial photography.
The organization I’m a member of are now looking in to
making a specific education for clinical and medical photography.
The main issue is to insure our job and to make us a part
of the system in which we work.
A question to be raised are: for many years we were part of
the hospital culture and the doctors and science needed us, how
come we are not as important now. Looking at digital development
and demands for quality in our work we have a clear role to play
within medical/clinical photography. So how do we get back on
track? This paper
will take up the issue as the look from Denmark, with information
on the development in Europe.
Educated
medical/clinical photographer 1992.
Employed as medical/clinical photographer at the Finsen
Center, Copenhagen University Hospital since 1995. Chairman
for SMBI since 1999; Board member of the photography group in the
Danish Society of Journalists, Board member of EFSI.

Perinatel
Bereavement Photography
Helen
Farrah, RN, BSN and Matthew F. Zirakian
The
Perinatal Bereavement Program at UMass Memorial Health Care in
Worcester, Massachusetts has been in existence for over a decade.
One aspect of this program is bereavement photography,
which provides lasting keepsakes for families of their infants.
Wanting to improve the quality of photographs provided to parents,
a Perinatal Bereavement Photography Team was formed. This group is
a collaboration of the 7 nurse photographers and the media
services department. Photographs of all infants, some as young as
12 weeks gestation, are taken using black and white film.
Consideration is given to specific requests as well as including
family members in the photographs. A standard of practice was
established regarding bereavement photography. Ongoing education
is provided through review of their work as well as attendance at
annual workshops. The group consists of no more than eight so the
performance standard is maintained. A call rotation is maintained
24/7. The collaboration of the nurse photographers and the media
services department provides an atmosphere for a successful
program.
Helen
Farrah is the Clinical Leader/Tertiary Care Neonatal ICU and the
coordinator of Perinatal Bereavement Program and Photography at Umass
Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, MA. She is Co-Chair of the Perinatal
Bereavement Team and on the CPR for NICU Parents committee. She regularly
presents on grieving and bereavement, as well as teaches a workshop on
bereavement photography, "Photography in Grief".
