Update in biomedical visualization: the professional communicator's role.
Health science communications professionals span a broad range of disciplines, each bringing a distinctly different focus and set of cognitive skills to bear upon information technologies. Nowhere is this more apparent than in biocommunications service units and academic programs. Until now, most faculty from visually-based disciplines were rarely required to generate research or project contracts. This is changing; new demands are being made for allied health faculty to obtain research grants and for academic health science centers to forge ventures with the private sector. Visualization in scientific computing offers new avenues for these activities.
