In this chapter, we briefly present the case of medical practice and education as they evolved through history until modern times. The history of medical practice and education portrays a transformation from unstructured spiritual and apprenticeship practice of the older days transitioning toward the current biopsychosocial medical model that is based on scientific evidence-based methods and practice. Educational methods have also developed from didactic traditional pedagogies and passive learning to more interactive methods and technologies based on andragogy. A preview of theoretical frameworks sets the ground for a discussion about medical schools’ curricula, values, and mission statements. The purpose of the frameworks is to illustrate the basic concepts on which a curriculum is constructed, and thus employ this in assessing whether these frameworks would fulfill the core values of medical practice as a holistic, bio-psychosocial science and practice; conceptual values that coul...

Preface It is 30 June and a new crop of interns has gathered to hear the Fish (Chief Resident and 'permanent Slurper'), Leggo (Chief of Medicine), the Pearl (an Attending), Dr Frank (the House psychiatrist), and other House representatives describe how things work (for example, parking, rounding schedules) and the values (for instance, covert autopsies) that govern the House of God. Amid this flurry of advice and information, the Fish and Dr Frank direct their trainees to seek their counsel if the demands of the House proved too formidable. However well inten-tioned, this edict contained several tacit messages: all problems are personal; organizational structures and practices are inviolate; trainees adapt and cope. In The House of God (Shem 1978) a book that is one of medicine's great primers on medical education's hidden curriculum (via Laws of the House of God, the Fat Man, and a montage of other emblematic characters and settings), this particular injunction slips by unnoticed – most certainly by the speakers (who are sincere if ritualized in what they say), but also by the interns who will not appreciate its normative undercurrents until long after the House began to exact its terrible toll. The hidden curriculum, after all, is most effective when it appears innocuous, innocent, and invisible.
