The Office of Faculty Relations and Professional Development is pleased to offer all NEOMED faculty and staff access to the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) Spring 2024 Webinar Series “Creating a Culture of Teaching and Learning.”
Join this Thursday, April 4, noon - 1 p.m. ET for Navigating the Hidden Curriculum in Health Professions Education.
Speaker
Megan Brown – Newcastle University
Abstract
This webinar covers the concept of the hidden curriculum in health professions education — a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of educational environments that significantly influences teaching and learning experiences.
We will explore the theoretical foundations of the hidden curriculum, examining how unspoken norms, values and beliefs shape our educational environments and impact students' identity formation. Throughout, we will consider practical strategies for educators to recognize and explore the hidden curriculum in their own teaching and practice. Ultimately, this webinar aims to equip medical educators with the insights and tools they need to navigate the hidden curriculum, enhancing the impact of their teaching and the learning journey of trainee health professionals.
The concluding Q&A offers an opportunity for attendees to engage in dialogue, share experiences, and seek advice on implementing presented strategies in their own educational contexts.
