Manga, a popular form of Japanese comics, is an underexplored resource in medical education. Though meant as entertainment, manga has the potential to enhance learning through its application of illustrations, compelling narratives, and relatable characters. Manga may be particularly well-suited for conveying complex medical concepts and developing the empathy and communication skills of learners through patient experiences. This commentary offers a recommended reading list of manga titles that can serve as a starting point for educators interested in integrating manga into their curricula. However, additional empirical research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of manga in medical education.
漫画是日本漫画的一种流行形式，在医学教育中是一种尚未得到充分探索的资源。尽管漫画的本意是娱乐，但它有潜力通过运用插图、引人入胜的叙事和容易引起共鸣的角色来促进学习。漫画可能特别适合传达复杂的医学概念，并通过患者经历培养学习者的同理心和沟通技巧。本评论提供了一份推荐的漫画书单，可供有兴趣将漫画融入课程的教育工作者作为起点。然而，还需要更多的实证研究来评估漫画在医学教育中的有效性。
