The hidden curriculum (HC) in health professional education
comprises the organizational and institutional contexts and
cultural subtexts that shape how and what students learn outside
the formal and intended curriculum. HC includes informal social
processes such as role modeling, informal conversations and
interactions among faculty and students, and more subterranean
forces of organizational life such as the structure of power and
privilege and the architectural layout of work environments. For
better and sometimes for worse, HC functions as a powerful vehicle
for learning and requires serious attention from health professions
educators.
This volume, of interest to medical and health professionals,
educators, and students, brings together twenty-two new essays by
experts in various aspects of HC. An introduction and conclusion by
the editors contextualizes the essays in the broader history and
literature of the field.
