Spotlight: Herbs for the Apocalypse: Forging Resistance and Resilience in Trying Times
Guest Post by Sarah Russo I gravitated towards natural healing since I was a child. There has always been something alluring about finding medicine from the Earth. The concept that plants have compounds that directly interact and encourage our body’s own innate ability to heal is, to me, one of the planet’s greatest masteries. I come from a family of doctors. My mom was a nurse and my dad a neurologist. My grandpa and uncle were veterinarians. I used to think I wanted to be an animal doctor and take over the family practice one day. But then I realized… Read More
Graphic Medicine at the American Library Association 2021 Annual Conference
Hi Graphic Medicine community, I’m writing wearing my ALA Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table President-Elect hat to share a couple of events at ALA Annual 2021 relevant to us in the graphic medicine world.

While there are certainly graphic medicine related titles at many of the vendors at the conference, you’ll definitely want to make a point to stop by the PSU Press booth and catch up on both the Graphic… Read More

My name is Pieter Kubben and I work as a neurosurgeon at Maastricht University Medical Center, The Netherlands.

Calling all FrontLine Workers and Comics Artists!
The Graphic Medicine International Collective, in collaboration with Penn State College of Medicine, are launching a project to collect and tell stories from the front lines.

It’s meant to be a true collaboration between front-line worker and artist, with the two parties meeting and crafting… Read More
Announcing the Graphic Medicine Liaison Program
The Graphic Medicine International Collective (GMIC) is thrilled to announce the launch of our Graphic Medicine Liaison Program! We have long discussed the need for field-specific champions of graphic medicine, given our ever-growing, multidisciplinary community and the impossibility of asking the board and larger organizing team to be experts in all things. The liaison program seeks to address this need by inviting active, trusted members of the graphic medicine community to serve as liaisons to their primary home fields. The role of the liaison is to maintain a page on this website dedicated to their field and describe how graphic… Read More
