Background on HeSCA – The Health Sciences Communications Association
HeSCA has a strong, nearly half-century history as a professional association and began as the Council on Medical Television in 1959. With the integration of technology into health care education and information delivery, HeSCA continues to meet the needs of professionals working in this evolving environment. For much of its history the membership has worked in the field of medical education, but during the 1980’s, with the changing structure of healthcare delivery, employee training and communications became a part of the career responsibilities. In the 1990’s and continuing today, many HeSCA professionals find their careers shifting towards medical marketing. The specialties within healthcare communications are many and can focus by subject or technology; all are addressed by the professional development opportunities found during the conference.
