Hidden in Plain Sight? Confronting the Hidden Curriculum
Teaching takes effort—and sometimes, despite our best planning, learners absorb lessons we never intended. Beyond the formal curriculum, the clinical environment conveys powerful messages through values, beliefs, role modeling, and everyday practices. This “hidden curriculum” can shape learners’ professional identities in ways that support—or undermine—what we’re trying to teach.

In this 90-minute interactive workshop, we will explore strategies to recognize the hidden curriculum, reflect on its impact, and practical tools to help learners identify and respond to it. Faculty will leave with concrete approaches to make the hidden curriculum visible and turn it into a powerful teaching opportunity.

Learning Objectives:

1.       How hidden curriculum affects the learning environment

2.       Assessing your educational context for examples of hidden curriculum

3.       Strategies to address or mitigate the hidden curriculum
