Medical students' reflections on surgical educators' professionalism: Contextual nuances in the hidden curriculum.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Surgical educators' professional behavior constitutes a hidden curriculum and impacts trainee's professional identity formation. This study explores the nuances of professional behaviors as observed in varying surgical settings. METHODS:411 Transcripts originated from essays written by MS3 students during their surgical clerkship from 2010 to 2016 were collated. Employing a qualitative research methodology, we conducted a thematic analysis to uncover specific meaning emerging from medical student reflections' on surgical professionalism. RESULTS:In clinics, taking time and protecting patient privacy; in the OR, control over emotion during difficult situations and attention to learners; and in the inpatient setting, showing accountability above normal expected behavior were noted as professional. Similarly, unprofessional behaviors in these contexts paralleled lack of these attributes. CONCLUSIONS:Behaviors observed and the attributes of professionalism in the surgical learning environment have contextual nuances. These variations in professionalism can be utilized in deliberate development of professionalism in surgery.
