The Production Division is the audio-visual facility of the Communicable Disease Center. It is equipped to provide all types of audio-visual service. The Production Division operates with six clear-cut general objectives: 1. To produce audio-visual materials to be used in the training of communicable disease investigation and control; 2. To distribute such materials to Communicable Disease Center Headquarters and field training activities, State and local health departments, graduate schools of hygiene and public health, departments of preventive medicine, and sanitary engineering in schools, colleges, and universities; 3. To help training personnel acquire the skills necessary to select, use, and evaluate these materials in their training programs; 4. To act as a service organization to other Divisions of the Communicable Disease Center by supplying photographs, photomicrographs, slides, and exhibits to document their operations; 5. To produce, upon request and reimbursable basis, audio-visual training materials for other units of the Public Health Service; 6. To cooperate with other governmental agencies, through the Interdepartmental Committee, to provide means for exchange of information, ideas, and experiences, and to prevent duplication of production through mutual planning and activities.
