The next invigorating and inspiring episode has arrived, enveloped in insightful conversation with Jane Zhao, comic artist and primary care researcher based in Toronto, Canada. Jane is also completing a PhD in health policy and health services research at the University of Toronto. We foray into the topic of positionality, Jane's story and her personal experiences and reflections on arts-based approaches, particularly comics, in health research. We explore how creative methods can deepen research by making knowledge more accessible, relational, and impactful. Through Jane's storytelling and lived experience, it highlights how arts-based approaches foster meaningful engagement, amplify diverse voices, and bridge the gap between evidence and practice. Listeners (from the arts-based KMb curious to the connoisseur) will continue to gain insight into how creativity can transform the way we understand, share, and mobilize knowledge within learning health systems. Hosted by Candace Ramjohn, Alberta SPOR SUPPORT Unit Learning Health System Team.
