Sydney -
I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that Sue is referring to best practices in
regards to medical encyclopedia entries...and the type of images, where they
are placed in articles, and such?
I do think it'd be GREAT to have the input of medical professionals. I'm
starting to notice that the majority of people who participate in medical
topics RARELY actually deal with the subject at hand in a professional
environment (i.e. I'd love to meet the gyno or nurse who is writing the
vagina article..)
Just like we need museums, women, and students...we need doctors and medical
professionals. Nursing school outreach anyone? :)

some guidance for how to select images that are optimally neutral for

does already exist.

Sue,
Not exactly what you were asking about but related.
These are some policy statements about consent from patients for the use of
their image in a medical publication.

Commons now does not require consent for images of people that are not
identifiable. This does not meet the newer standards adopted by medical
groups. This is particulary concerning since our license encourages reuse.
We are lowering the standard for obtaining medical images and encouraging
other people to do so too.
