Despite a growing integration of sex and gender-sensitive content in medical education around the globe, the focus on content often leads to a lack of consideration of the hidden curriculum. To foster an inclusive, sex- and gender-sensitive culture in medical education, we have to take a holistic approach that transcends a sole focus on explicit teaching content. This article provides reflections about the practice of teaching sex and gender-sensitive medicine focusing on the impactful yet implicit notions we convey about sex and gender in medical education. We propose action for leaders and teachers in medical education to explicitly address sex/gender in the hidden curriculum and within their institution, challenging the invisible practices of academia in the medical field.
尽管全球医学教育中对性别敏感内容的整合日益增加，但对内容的关注往往导致对隐性课程缺乏考虑。为了在医学教育中培育一种包容的、对性别敏感的文化，我们必须采取一种超越单纯关注显性教学内容的整体方法。本文围绕我们在医学教育中传达的关于性与性别的有影响力但隐含的观念，对性别敏感医学教学实践进行反思。我们建议医学教育的领导者和教师采取行动，在隐性课程以及所在机构中明确处理性/性别问题，挑战医学领域中学术界无形的做法。
