Objectives:
The effect of hidden curriculum on student learning has not been sufficiently recognized in most of the revised curriculums. This study is a qualitative study that measures the students' perception of hidden curriculum through semi-structured interviews. All of the interviews were recorded and then converted into scripts. These scripts were divided to sentences and phrases and named as units. Units aggregated with similar groups and named as codes, then the similar codes were aggregated into themes.
Results:
Four main themes emerged, role modeling, personal attitude and beliefs, hierarchy, social and ethical culture. The results of the present study showed that it is necessary to discuss the hidden curriculum. We are unaware of the hidden curriculum, but even when were are aware of it, we are unwilling to act. Information about issues related to the hidden and informal curriculum, as well as knowing the viewpoints of students is necessary. It seems necessary to provide data to students about the hidden curriculum and encouraging patient centered curriculums early in training, such as integrated curriculum.
