Graphic Medicine Librarians

Matthew, Kathryn, and Alice are three academic medical librarians that have made significant contributions to the advancement of graphic medicine within the academic library settings. Their work focuses on its application in health sciences education, facilitating the learning of health sciences professionals, and utilizing graphic medicine to enhance patient education and comprehension. 

The following are LibGuides that have been created by academic medical librarians across the United States. While this is not a comprehensive list by any means, each guide has it's own unique features and has been curated by incredible fellow medical librarians. I have judiciously borrowed ideas and organization of information from many of these guides and librarians. 

Note: In order by title, not by relevance:
