Graphic Medicine

Graphic Novels

Almost 100 graphic novels on medical themes have been donated to Scott Library 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.
