Revealing the Hidden Clerkship Curriculum: A Qualitative Analysis.
Article in Family medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesFamily medicine (FM) clerkships have learning objectives to define what students should learn by the end of their clerkship, but how do we know what larger lessons students are taking away? This study aimed to explore the FM clerkship explicit and hidden curriculum.
methodsStudents were asked to list their top five take-home points at the end of their FM clerkship at two institutions. A total of 668 written reflections were qualitatively analyzed.
resultsThirteen code categories emerged: scope of practice, health care systems, role of FM in the system, traits of a family doctor, values of FM, cultural competency and social justice, challenges of FM care, evidence-based medicine, clinical skills for a student, personal impact, life skills and tips, patient centeredness, and clinical pearls. Prominent subcategories included prevention, team-based care, doctor-patient relationship, and continuity of care.
conclusionsWhen compared to the FM clerkship learning objectives at both institutions, four code categories emerged that were not part of the explicit objectives: traits of a family doctor, challenges in FM care, personal impact, and life skills and tips. Conversely, some nuances of the learning objective of FM in the health care system regarding decreasing cost and improving health outcomes and equity were not represented in the coded categories of student responses. These findings could potentially help FM clerkships nationally define ways to improve messaging around challenges in FM care and help the 25 x 2030 initiative to produce more family physicians in the United States.
