‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…
Matthew’s Pick of the Week…
This week (or these weeks I suppose) I don’t have a link or comic to point you to, but rather one opportunity and one suggested resource!
Instagram… As follows of this blog may have realized, I virtually never link out to Instagram. The reason for this is because it already takes an ever-growing amount of time to capture what I find and Instagram would push it over the edge. However, I DO follow along when I have a chance and I want to encourage you all to do the same. You can add the hashtag, #graphicmedicine, to your feed (a neat feature) and follow Graphic Medicine‘s presence as two quick, easy ways to get started!
Are you a book reviewer or do you have aspirations to be one? Then we at Graphic Medicine may have an opportunity for you! As you know, book reviews are a major feature of this website. As you also may know, we find ourselves more-and-more busy and unable to review as many as we’d like. This is where you come in! If you might be interested in reviewing a work of graphic medicine (floppy comics, graphic novels, webcomics, beyond), please reach out to us! You can contact us directly individually of course, but the best way is to send us a note using this form.
Articles & More…
Special… Consider checking out the #GoldMTL and/or #MLANet18 hashtags if you have an interest in humanism in medicine or medical librarianship respectively. Both of these professional gatherings included reference to graphic medicine!

It is no longer #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, but this deserves another share. @brokenfrontier has introduced me to so many comics I would otherwise have missed these past few years that I can’t recommend following them enough! #GraphicMedicine https://t.co/IL4qJvFbID
