We strive to be key partners in the process of scientific discovery, knowledge transfer, and innovation, and to be recognized as the premier global resource for promoting the power of visual media to advance science education, communication, research, and understanding. Guiding Principles: 1. We promote the highest levels of competency, professionalism, and ethics among our members and throughout our community of industry partners. 2. We cultivate collaboration within a global network of colleagues who can contribute to our mission. 3. We serve society as visual translators between the expert and novice, the scholar and student, the physician and patient. The AMI is comprised of over 800 members across 4 continents. Historically, our roots are in medical textbook and journal publishing. Now, as technology and digital media transform both science and communication, AMI members are on the leading edge of this dynamic multidisciplinary frontier.
