Issue/problem Public health is a complex discipline often misunderstood by medical students. The way these future professionals get to grips with this subject may impact their career. Description of the problem Starting in November 2018, a young public health intern, who also happens to be an illustrator, shares with us her medical journey through a comic broadcasted online. This innovative approach aims to demystify public health to medical students and could potentially raise their interest in the profession. The author started her residency training at the French Regional Authority of Health Promotion and Education (Instance Régionale d’Éducation et Promotion de la Santé - IREPS). Results She recounts some of her professional anecdotes: an empowerment project for struggling young people, a survey on environmental health… The chapters of her comic are periodically shared on social media to professional members and public health interns in Dijon. The French organization of Public Health Interns (Collège de Liaison des Internes de Santé Publique de France - CLISP) has been contacted to publish the comic nationally. An English translation has been considered as well. A printed edition will be distributed to medical students of the region during an introductory course in public health. Lessons This experiential comic strip enables the intern to conduct a self-analysis of her work. The short format of each chapter obliges the author to focus on some understandable key messages. The comic strip receives a warm welcome as well as by the professional members of IREPS, and the young and skilled co-interns who all appreciate this discipline being presented under a new light. Key messages The comics strip represents a great tool to transfer knowledge in public health as it is attractive and ludic. It is essential to provide a better understanding of public health.
