The unwritten, unplanned content that makes up the hidden curriculum has its influence on medical students, both positively and negatively. It is crucial for both professional and emotional development, but uncovering hidden curriculum could boost doctors' efficiency
I believe the percentage of hidden curriculum in medical college is negligible. As someone who went through the system, I read at least 2-3 topics ahead for each class, so I already had a foundation for each topic and questions before my lectures, majority of medical students in my institution did this. The salient points are always in our reading materials from the lecturer, I don't believe there should be any worry on "hidden curriculum".
@azeezat. The term “hidden curriculum” refers to an amorphous collection of “implicit academic, social, and cultural messages,” “unwritten rules and unspoken expectations,” and “unofficial norms, behaviours and values” of the dominant-culture context in which all teaching and learning is situated. My Question is how to assess these values
Interesting question: the hidden curriculum could be seen in the effect on students in this case. What would be advisable in this case is to be able to design an instrument that can somehow measure the effects of the hidden curriculum.
