Navigating the Hidden Curriculum in Health Professions Education
Description

This webinar covers the concept of the hidden curriculum in health professions education, a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of educational environments that significantly influences teaching and learning experiences. We will explore the theoretical foundations of the hidden curriculum, examining how unspoken norms, values, and beliefs shape our educational environments and impact students' identity formation. Throughout, we will consider practical strategies for educators to recognize and explore the hidden curriculum in their own teaching and practice. Ultimately, this webinar aims to equip medical educators with the insights and tools they need to navigate the hidden curriculum, enhancing the impact of their teaching, and the learning journey of trainee health professionals. The concluding Q&A offers an opportunity for attendees to engage in dialogue, share experiences, and seek advice on implementing presented strategies in their own educational contexts.
