Use of comics in medical education and patient care

Graphic stories are a novel and creative way to learn and teach about illness, and we believe the themes and structure of this medium will resonate with an increasingly large number of medical professionals.

We have offered some examples of how this medium works and ways it might be integrated into medical education and practice, but this is only the beginning. We look forward to the ideas and experiences of others, and to a robust research agenda that rigorously evaluates the impact of graphic stories on educational and clinical outcomes.
