About this listen

You can ace every exam and still fail medicine if you don't learn these rules.

In this episode, Dr. Felix Boecker pulls back the curtain on the Hidden Curriculum of Medicine.

While medical school teaches you pathophysiology and treatment algorithms, there is a whole other curriculum that nobody writes down. It is the informal socialization process—the unwritten rules and cultural expectations that determine whether you thrive or get crushed during clinical training.

In this video, we discuss:

  • The Power of Hierarchy: Understanding your place, from medical student to attending.
  • The Art of "Questioning Upward": How to challenge a senior without being labeled insubordinate.
  • The Performance Trap: Why intangibles like attitude and work ethic matter more than medical knowledge in evaluations.
  • The Culture of Toughness: How the glorification of suffering leads to burnout and moral injury.
  • Specialty Culture: Why the unwritten rules change between surgery, internal medicine, and psychiatry.

Stop surviving the system and start owning your career.
