Abstract

As an engaging and understandable visual medium, comics can facilitate discussions around difficult topics, including aging and death, and be a useful educational tool for medical students. To achieve this end, a geriatrics clerkship program director implemented a health humanities curriculum that included a partnership with the health science library. The resulting book club gave medical students a place to discuss the clerkship and helped them draw connections between their experiences and a graphic memoir on the perspective of a caregiver to elderly parents. The librarian's background using comics for instruction and the director's expertise in geriatric medicine created an innovative new educational method.

用漫画讨论老年书记员的经历。

作为一种引人入胜且易于理解的视觉媒介，漫画可以促进围绕困难话题的讨论，包括衰老和死亡，并且是医学学生的有用教育工具。为了实现这一目标，一位老年病学见习项目主任实施了一项健康人文学科课程，其中包括与健康科学图书馆的合作。由此产生的读书俱乐部为医学生提供了一个讨论实习工作的场所，并帮助他们将自己的经历与一本以照顾者的视角看待年迈父母的生动回忆录联系起来。图书管理员使用漫画进行教学的背景和导演在老年医学方面的专业知识创造了一种创新的新教育方法。
