Each year the Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) hosts an exhibition of scientific and medical visualizations created and produced by its professional, associate and student members. Members submit illustrations, animations and interactive media for judging by committees composed of subject matter experts.
Despite the cancellation of the 2020 annual conference caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the AMI Salon went ahead as a virtual event hosted online.
BMC students, faculty and alumni won five of nine Awards of Excellence, nine of 18 Awards of Merit and two of the most prestigious–Best of Show for Interactive/Dynamic Media and Best of Show for Static Media.
