OVERVIEW
Much of the
information critical to the communication of public health messages is pictorial
rather than text-based. Created by a Working Group at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), PHILTM offers an organized, universal electronic
gateway to CDC's pictures. We welcome public health professionals, the media,
laboratory scientists, educators, and the worldwide public to use this material
for reference, teaching, presentation, and public health messages. The content
is organized into hierarchical categories of people, places, and science, and is
presented as single images, image sets, and multimedia files.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
For the indexing scheme, we thank the National Library of Medicine for allowing us to
use their Medical Subject Headings, and the National Bureau of Labor Statistics for
allowing us to use their Standard Occupational Classification.
