Graphic Medicine: Ill-conceived & well drawn
Graphic medicine is the use of comics to tell personal stories of illness and health. The combined language of words and pictures that is the comic medium gives approachability and emotional impact to these personal stories, and even to the clinical data they sometimes include.

This webpage contains information on the NLM Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well Drawn exhibit as well as resources, tools and an education module to integrate graphic medicine into your health literacy training.
