Based on interest in the Graphic Medicine Rounds event and the library's collection, we have decided to form BERST's first Special Interest Group on this topic.
Even if you are new to this topic and perhaps could not attend Graphic Medicine Rounds, we'd love to have you join us if you are interested in developing educational sessions, resources, or research that utilize Graphic Medicine.
Details:
This opportunity is open to all Baystate Employees, however non-BERST members will have to commit to applying to BERST by 2022 in order to participate in the Special Interest Group.
In this past BERST Rounds we used accessible and visually striking stories of illness and health that offer a different perspective on healthcare and the experiences of providers, patients, and caregivers. Please contact Angela Sweeney or Bridget Gunn for more information about the use of Graphic Medicine as a teaching tool.
