The influence of the hidden curriculum on the risk of burnout in junior doctors in a palliative medicine rotation – a qualitative exploratory study
This is the first study on the effects of the HC on burnout for junior doctors in a PC rotation. It provides unique insights into the impact of complex clinical, personal, social, ethical and organizational factors on burnout and suggests that all factors need to be addressed in tandem for any attempts at staff support to be successful. This study can guide current and future research and programs that support wellbeing for junior doctors.
