People with developmental disabilities often face unfair barriers and challenges in healthcare systems. Patient needs and perspectives are often overlooked, and many people are not supported in making their own medical decisions. Resources about healthcare are also often confusing, as they use medical jargon that is not easy to understand.
This project seeks to connect consultants with development disabilities with graphic artists to create healthcare resources that share perspective and information that will be clear and useful to everyone. The hope is that this can help bridge the gap between medical professionals and patients, for better experiences and outcomes for all involved.
What is “graphic medicine”?
The term “graphic medicine” – which was coined by Dr. Ian Williams in 2007 – is defined on the Graphic Medicine website as “the intersection between the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare.”

The term Graphic Medicine (capitalized) may also be used to refer to the Graphic Medicine International Collective or the Graphic Medicine website, which is maintained by an editorial team under their advisement.
We recommend visiting this website to stay updated on both the field of graphic medicine and the Graphic Medicine International Collective.
