Full Description
Medical students and residents are immersed in a busy world with unspoken expectations, invisible challenges, and other influences that comprise a hidden curriculum. This book provides a deeper understanding of this complex system, unique "insider" perspectives, and practical advice. To do this, it provides a platform built on applied sociology, history, organizational psychology, and science that reimagines how to manage medical training. This book seeks to level the playing field by demystifying the hidden curriculum, enabling medical trainees to achieve their full potential using well-defined effective strategies.
Key Features:
1. Unravels the many unspoken rules, principles, and expectations—the hidden curriculum—of medical training.
2. Provides basic background material and strategies to succeed in medical training, focusing on information left out of the formal curriculum and often not conveyed to trainees.
3. Features a balanced, evidence-based discussion on many areas of misinformation and controversy such as statistical testing, the gender pay gap in medicine, the replication crisis, generational trends and biases, and more.
