title: Role blurring--does it have implications for staff structure and development?
abstract: Within recent times medical illustration departments have been changed dramatically by computers and new working methods. For photographers and illustrators alike this has resulted in an overlap or 'blurring' of roles. This paper discusses typical core skills that cause this overlap and looks at the necessity for everyone within the profession to acquire them.
