TL;DR
A model to explain students’ reasoning in the face of professional dilemmas and teach students how to negotiate and balance these unavowed and disavowed implications and principles, in order to help them develop their own professional stance.
Abstract
This "disavowed curriculum" has implications for education, feedback, and evaluation. Instead of denying their existence, we should teach students how to negotiate and balance these unavowed and disavowed implications and principles, in order to help them develop their own professional stance.

The authors challenge a prevailing belief within the culture of medicine that while it may be possible to teach information about ethics, course material or even an entire curriculum can in no way decisively influence a student's personality or ensure ethical conduct.

A circumscribed concept of professionalism is available to serve as a foundation for next steps in assessing professional behavior and future research should explore rigorous qualitative techniques; refine quantitative assessments of competence; and evaluate separate elements of professionalism.

It is concluded that some components of ethical education must be participant-driven and developmentally stage-specific, focusing more attention on the kinds of ethical decisions made by medical students as opposed to those made by residents or practicing physicians.

156 Citations1998David Stern
The values most consistently recommended in the medical curriculum are honesty, accountability, compassion, the importance of public health, and self-policing, which indicates that one reason medical students are not learning the intended norms of the profession may be that the teachers are not consistently teaching the recommended values of the Profession.

Interestingly, the critical issues students reported as salient did not map easily onto standard, abstract definitions of professionalism, suggesting that the development of effective curricula in this domain must bridge the gap between traditional taxonomies and students' perceptions of professionalism.

These findings confirm similar reports among medical students and residents and raise questions about the possible effect of such observations on the ethical principles and behavior of physicians-in-training.

It is suggested that the observation of and participation in unethical conduct may have disparaging effects on medical students' codes of ethics and the educational environment is altered so that acceptance of such behaviour is not considered part of becoming a physician.
