Annals Graphic
Medicine (http://annals.org/graphicmedicine)
brings together original graphic narratives, comics, animation, and other
creative forms by those who provide or receive health care. They address
medically relevant topics—be they poignant, thought-provoking, or just plain
entertaining. These are (for the present at least) available from The Annals free and open access.
The popularity of
Annals Graphic Medicine has prompted The Editors to include
it regular monthly column.
In the February 5,
2019 Issue, there’s a fine graphic narrative called, “The
Medical Student.”
For more about Graphic Medicine. see: the Graphic Medicine website. "Comics are “not just for kids.” Over the past decade this underrated medium has begun to receive recognition and acclaim from literary critics, academics, and broadsheet reviewers. Thanks in part to the medical humanities movement many medical schools now have students read classic literature or modern novels to gain insight into the human condition. It is high time that graphic fiction is taken as seriously: comics, graphic novels, and graphic narratives are great resource for health professionals, trainees, students and the public.
