The Hidden Curriculum in the Postgraduate Psychiatry Trainee Program
The hidden curriculum profoundly shapes professional identity formation in postgraduate psychiatry training through implicit norms, institutional culture, and role modeling. Beyond formal curricula, it influences ethics, communication, well-being, and professionalism. Recognizing and positively shaping hidden curriculum can enhance trainee development, institutional culture, and humane, patient-centered psychiatric practice.
