Within the framework of advancing the competencies of healthcare professionals via educa-tional initiatives that incorporate innovative methodologies, this paper presents an exploration of utilizing comic strips in a professional master’s program as a conduit for introspection on interprofessional dynamics and the enhancement of certain communicative competencies. This study engaged fourteen nurses, whose ages ranged from 35 to 55 years and who were em-ployed in hospital environments in Northern Italy, through their participation in the creation of comic strips and a concluding interview. The research was conducted over the period from November 2022 to May 2023. The examination of the findings, which included graphic repre-sentations and interview data, uncovered a daily professional existence marked by discord and paradoxes, yet unified under a shared professional designation.
