Resumo:Abstract. The hidden curriculum in medical training comprises the set of unwritten norms, values,and practices that students learn in clinical settings and that frequently clash with the formalprinciples taught in the classroom. We analyze how this curriculum transmits informalcompetencies related to emotional suppression, hierarchical obedience, and the normalization ofphysical self-sacrifice, shaping professional identities that can erode empathy, compromise patientsafety, and contribute to burnout. The dissonance between institutional discourse and dailypractice is examined as a source of cynicism and a loss of vocational idealism. Finally, the articleproposes making the hidden curriculum visible through structured spaces for reflection, consciousmodeling by clinical educators, and alignment between stated values and observable behaviors,with the aim of transforming this phenomenon into a reinforcement of ethical culture andprofessional well-being.
