The Health Sciences Library is currently featuring an exciting new display: From Medical Illustration & Comics to Graphic Medicine, which highlights our new collection of Graphic Medicine books.
Graphic Medicine, a term coined by Dr. Ian Williams, defines it as “the intersection between the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare”. Not limited to medical education, this use of comics includes memoirs, educational texts for patients as well as healthcare personnel, and critique of the healthcare system and profession.
In addition to featuring our new collection of books, display cases explore medical illustration through the years. This includes drawings by the visionary Mary Maciel, who organized and led UC College of Medicine’s School of Medical Illustration from 1947 to 1972.
Not only can you enjoy the display and check out a graphic medicine book, but you can also create and share your own graphic medicine panels at the creation station!
