This is a hands-on workshop where participants will draw and create comics in order to explore the role of illustration in their professional and personal explorations of health, illness, disability, and care giving. Through small and large group discussion, brainstorming, and questioning, participants will consider and adapt the methods of graphic medicine to be most useful to their particular educational and care provision environments.
