The Biomedical Photographic Communications is a unique media communications program located at the
Rochester Institute of Technology. It was established in 1969 with more than 700 alumni working in a
wide range of professional capacities world-wide.

The curriculum blends applications of imaging using various technologies to support investigations and visual communications problems resident in the life sciences and media communication fields. While obtaining a strong foundation in the sciences, students design and produce instructional media projects that would be representative
of those found in medicine and industry, including web publishing.

Importantly, this program is the only one of its type in the United States. Following graduation, students have been actively recruited for positions in ophthalmology and forensic laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, health care and medical research centers, military bases, and companies that produce scientific imaging equipment such as Carl Zeiss, Inc. Additionally, because of the curriculum’s flexibility, recent graduates have been successful finding positions in the electronic imaging fields as technical service representatives, producers of instructional media products, and visual information specialists for multimedia and web publishing companies or sales positions for medical instruments such as microscopes and ophthalmic instruments. Based on how students use free electives and general education courses, they may also be successful in gaining entrance to numerous graduate studies programs including medical schools.
