Since it was originally intended for agricultural extension, it is particularly strong on food --- every kind of food and cooking, great for publications on diet --- but includes many, many people images, including doctors and nurses with patients. The images are black & white line drawings; when you first click on an image, it is shown screen size and looks a tad fuzzy, but will work well at sizes most likely to be used for publications --- I used some myself in my previous work. Unfortunately, the search gives you the whole group which includes the one you want, so you have to scroll though it. Some images are a bit dated, e.g., clothing, hair. Images are available in several formats --- GIF, TIF, JPG. http://www.angelfire.com/art2/sls/ has some free medical clip art which only requires that you give a reference to their site. These images are good but the one I sampled did not scale up well. I have found that the free health images at some sites have very poor resolution. There are, of course, medical clip art sites which charge a fee for their collections, e.g., lifeart.com; I haven't tried these for $$ reasons. At http://www.uthscsa.edu/mw/support/medclipart.html there is a collection of strictly anatomical clip art which looks great, but if you are not affiliated with the University of Texas Health Science Center, you need to inquire about permission. Graphics at http://www.clipart-directory.com/graphics/Clip_Art/medical_Clip_Art_Science-Health-Medicine.html require a monthly or annual subscription. The few I've seen were colored illustrations of hospital scenes. The site claims to have many thousands of images, serious and otherwise.
