In this week's episode of Promising Young Surgeon, we delve into the hidden curriculum of medical training with Dr. Joanne Loethen. The hidden curriculum encompasses the informal lessons imparted through respect, language, demeanor, and attitude towards colleagues, team members, and patients. Dr. Loethen, an assistant professor of internal medicine and pediatrics at the University of Missouri Kansas City, shares her insights on how these unspoken rules shape the professional environment in hospitals and medical schools.

Dr. Loethen also talks about her non-traditional path to medicine, the importance of maintaining fitness and nutrition during medical training, and practical advice for residents on optimizing their well-being. She emphasizes the significance of professional skills, empathy, and teamwork in medical practice, and how these elements are often part of the hidden curriculum that residents learn through observation and experience.
