The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how graphic medicine could be a useful tool for communicating medical discharge instructions to populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). It is divided into three parts. First, it provides an overview of the biggest struggles LEP patients encounter in healthcare, which often occur around discharge instructions and medication changes. Second, the paper explores what graphic medicine is and how it has been used in healthcare. The last part of this paper consists of original graphic medicine artwork that addresses key issues for LEP populations during discharge with the goal of offering a starting place for a new potentially useful intervention to address health disparities
