Pat Thomas, CMI, FAMI

It seems increasingly common in these days of instant long distance communications, that my clients know me only as a voice on the phone and by the artwork in their hands. I’d like to share with you a little more information to bridge the distance gap.

My small business, Pat Thomas Medical Illustration, was established in 1973. Details of my business career can be seen in my résumé. I have been privileged to be the sole illustrator on nine texts and a contributing illustrator for several others. For the past 20 years my primary work has been producing medical legal exhibits. I have worked both defense and plaintiff cases including many high profile trials resulting in multi-million dollar awards. Most of this work has been in conjunction with DecisionQuest, a trial consulting firm with offices across the country.

I’ve earned and maintained the designation of Certified Medical Illustrator (CMI). The software company Corel, features me as one of their “Painter™ Masters.” I also serve as an adjunct clinical assistant professor in Biomedical Visualization at the University of Illinois Chicago.

In 2006-2007 I was privileged to serve as President of the Association of Medical Illustrators. I have previously served as the Association's secretary, chaired numerous committees and have received the distinction of Fellow for my contributions.
