Medical training as a process of professional socialization has been well explored within the fields of medical education, medical sociology and medical anthropology. Our contribution is to outline a bio-power, more specifically an anatomo-politics, of medical education. The current research aimed to explore perspectives on what is commonly termed the 'hidden curriculum'. We conducted interviews with pre-clinical medical students, clinical teachers and medical educators within a New Zealand medical school. In this paper, we outline ways that respondents described the juxtaposition of the undeclared or hidden aspects of medical education with the formal declared curriculum. Our respondents were aware of incongruencies across these components that resulted in mixed messages to students. Curricula initiatives aim to encourage new forms of subjectivity so that students are often expected to be the kinds of doctors that their teachers are not. However, the success of such initiatives is dependent on the degree of alignment between informal and formal components of the curriculum. |
