#125 Hidden Curriculum

Check out this audio treasure map to find the hidden curriculum and learn how it can change your practice. Learn how positive teaching spans not just the classroom or bedside but, how we simply talk about patients. Sanjay Desai MD, coauthor of ACP’s Position Paper on Hidden Curriculum and Internal Medicine program director at Johns Hopkins guides us through several cases that illustrate how our institutional norms can shape the practice of medicine...for better or worse.
