“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Training for a career in the visual communication of science and medicine equips students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills that can be applied to any realm of communications.
To recognize the 75th anniversary of biomedical communications at the University of Toronto, students enrolled in the program have invited speakers who represent the rich diversity of practice in this rapidly expanding field. These experts work at the interface of science communication in fields from AR and VR, data visualization, graphic medicine and animation to game and product development.
Come join us online as our speakers share with us the destinations where their careers as biomedical visualization specialists have taken them.
