Graphic Medicine is an interdisciplinary field that brings together comics, visual storytelling and health sciences to explore experiences of health, illness, disability, grief and care. It understands the graphic as visual language that bridges lived experience and clinical knowledge, enabling perspectives that are often difficult to capture through text alone. By valuing both the study and creation of comics, Graphic Medicine broadens how healthcare culture is represented and understood.
