A. It refers to the lessons that are formally taught in the field of medicine
B. Hidden curriculum refers to the health care institutional structure and lessons taught informally and unintentionally in the medical school system
C. It is defined as formal healthcare education intended to assist patients to gain experience of the type of services they deserve.
Answer: B
The hidden curriculum is an informal teaching method but it is institutionally structured. Other choices are wrong because the hidden curriculum cannot be formal. In the hidden curriculum, students learn from ideas and opinions about their environment. They also get health care management systems and information from their fellow classmates. Thus, this curriculum reinforces the policies of health practitioners and physicians.
Question 2: Three of the following are the importance of the conceptual framework for HSS except one. Which one is not (Source: Chapter 2, Pg. 11).
A. It gives the historical and critical perspective of the topic
B. It indicates the gap in the HSS research
C. It does not identify the boundaries of the HSS
D. It is the hub and output of a research
Answer: C
The conceptual framework as far as HSS is concerned identifies the boundaries of the HSS. Apart from the other three illustrated answers, the conceptual framework does this by ensuring that it meets the needs and demands of HSS research. Besides, the conceptual framework ensures that it puts focus narrowly on healthcare delivery program data and policies.
