Graphic Medicine

Graphic Medicine at Jefferson Libraries

The Jefferson libraries have over 100 graphic novels on medical themes for use of the Jefferson community. These stories invite readers to understand and empathize with patients and their caregivers, encountering medical dilemmas with new eyes. The cartoon format with both words and pictures delivers a visceral impact as well as entertainment and information. Creators include doctors, patients, patient advocates and relatives, and others interested in depicting compelling health dramas.

The Graphic Medicine Collection is located on the second floor of the Scott Building, and in the stacks of Gutman Library.  

Highlights from the Collection

Our thanks to Martha Cornog, a former librarian who is the graphic novel reviewer for Library Journal, for donating a fascinating graphic medicine collection to Scott Library.
