title: The status of medical illustration in Western Europe and Australia.
abstract: In an effort to better determine how medical illustration has evolved overseas, contact was established with Western European and Australian medical illustrators, their professional organizations, and their schools for medical illustration. Information was gathered from returned letters and questionnaires. Data indicating the illustrator's sex, age, education, employment, job duties, techniques employed, subject matter, contact with other illustrators, and professional membership were collected. An analysis of the trends in each of the above-stated areas showed that the educational backgrounds, professional organizations, job responsibilities, and wages were similar to those of medical illustrators in the United States.
