Abstract
While the process of reflection has received increasing attention in medical education, the content of students’ reflections has been less fully explored. In addition to describing a course to support the process of collective and guided reflection, we identified that the reflections our students brought to the group discussions were dominated by their observations of others’ behaviours rather than their own experiences of struggling with the pressure to conform. Thus, we raises questions about how this selective identification of moments on which to reflect might undermine the value of guided, collective reflection for recognizing and resisting one’s own enculturation.
Objectives
- Discuss the hidden curriculum and its role in the professionalization of learners
- Discuss the role of reflection in supporting learners in their enculturation experience
- Brainstorm ways to tag subtle moments of enculturation for later reflection
