"Navigating the Hidden Curriculum in Medical School" - Lindsay Kalter
In a 2018 position paper on the hidden curriculum, the American College of Physicians noted that more than half of medical students experienced disconnects between what they were explicitly taught and what they perceived from faculty members' behaviors. David Muller, MD, FACP, dean for medical education and the Marietta and Charles C. Morchand chair of the department of medical education at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai said “On the one hand, we say we care about your wellness, but at the same time students are surrounded by examples of being overworked and coming in sick.” He added, “They’re getting two messages. They’re not sure how to reconcile that.”
