The Hidden Curriculum in Academic Medicine: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

I really enjoyed watching this video (a) because of the innovation that’s happening in medical schools today – (innovation in compassion that is) (b) the breadth of people across the leadership spectrum in academic medicine who are now involved in supporting a more inclusive medical school experience and (c) the honesty around the issues that are still harming education – as Jennifer “Jae” Goines talked about having to change the way she person dressed for medical school interviews based on perceived openness to her diversity doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of what doctors are here to learn.

Enough said. Oh, and I continue to be a fan of Barbara Warren (@bwarrenpsyd) at Mount Sinai Health system 🙂 .
