The responsibility of the Department of Biomedical Illustration Services (BIS) is to help improve student learning in the health sciences. BIS accomplishes this mission by offering products and services designed to facilitate teacher-learner interaction. In addition, the Department provides support for facilitating the two other components of the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s (UMC) mission: research and patient service.

With digital technology advancements increasing the availability of information for instructional purposes, this institution is integrating computer technology across the campuses. As UMC integrates technology for instructional purposes, the Department is leading the way into the future with a vision of providing top quality products and services in a timely fashion.
