N2 - Medical education is an arduous process with widespread study of very complex information across diverse subjects. The use of medical illustrations in schematic or cartoon-like appearances is an old method of conveying intricate information. They are relatively absent in medical classrooms today. The purpose of this study was to survey members of a medical university, students and teachers regarding their opinions of medical cartoons. Most respondents had favourable opinions of cartoons in medical education. More research is required to conclude what parameters make cartoons effective teaching aids. Moreover, many teachers may lack formal training in applying cartoons within their curriculum.
