This set of four modules will discuss graphic medicine (the interdisciplinary intersection of medicine and comics) and its uses in public and clinical settings. The purpose of these modules is to better educate participating healthcare professionals on interpreting the nonverbal communication of patients in a healthcare setting through comics (facial expressions, body language etc.), and finding ways to better build rapport and understanding without biases between patient and professional. Participants will learn about graphic medicine, current works, othered bodies, and finally how to construct a comic based on their own experiences.
These modules were created by Dr. Rachel Thomas, Assistant Professor and Program Leader for the BA Comics, Graphic Novels, and Sequential Arts at Teesside University, UK. She is an interdisciplinary artist/researcher that blurs the boundaries between traditional media, technology and bio-fabrication.
